Vestfonna is an ice cap on the western part of Nordaustlandet, an island in Norway's Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Covering roughly 2,500 square kilometers, it is the third largest ice cap in Svalbard and in Norway as a whole, and it is separated from Austfonna, the larger ice cap that covers most of the rest of Nordaustlandet.
