Engabreen, Glacier system in Meløy Municipality, Norway
Engabreen extends 18 kilometers from the Svartisen ice mass, featuring blue ice formations and multiple glacial tongues descending into surrounding lakes.
Norwegian glaciologists in the early 1900s conducted extensive research at Engabreen, establishing methods for monitoring glacial movements and changes.
The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate maintains a laboratory beneath Engabreen, contributing to international glacier research and education programs.
Visitors can reach the glacier through guided tours departing from Ørnes town, requiring appropriate hiking equipment and advance reservations.
At 20 meters above sea level, Engabreen marks the lowest terminal point of any glacier on continental European territory.
