Norway #5

Der Svartisen (schwarzes Eis) ist mit 370 km² der zweitgrößte Gletscher Norwegens und liegt im Nordland Fylke, knapp unterhalb des Polarkreises im Saltfjellet-Svartisen-Nationalpark nordwestlich der Stadt Mo i Rana. Er zählt insgesamt 60 Gletscherarme. Zwischen den beiden Hauptgletschern, dem Ost- (Østertaleis) und dem Westeis, liegt das Glomtal. Der Svartisengletscher ist von Mo i Rana aus leicht zu erreichen. Durch das Røvasstal führt eine Straße zum Svartisen Gletschersee hinauf. Während der Sommersaison besteht die Möglichkeit, mit dem Schiff über den See zu fahren. Die Überfahrt dauert 20 Minuten. Dann kann man auf einem gut gekennzeichneten, ca. 3km langen Wanderweg bis zum Østertal-Gletschersee hinaufgehen.

Svartisen is a collective term for two glaciers located in northern Norway. The system consists of two separate glaciers,

Vestre (western) Svartisen (221 km²), which is the second largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland (there are larger glaciers on Svalbard, Iceland and Novaya Zemlya) after Jostedalsbreen
Østre (eastern) Svartisen (148 km²), which is the country's fourth largest.
There are also a number of minor glaciers in the area, such as Glombreen in the northern part of Meløy, and Simlebreen in Beiarn. One of the outlet glaciers of Svartisen, Engabreen ends at the lowest point of any glacier on the European mainland, at 20 meters above sea level (in 2007). The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate has monitored the glacier mass balance of the glacier since 1974 and operates a sub-glacial laboratory beneath Engabreen.

Svartisen is part of Saltfjellet-Svartisen national park, located in the Saltfjell mountain range.
