Søndre Folgefonna, Plateau glacier in Hardanger region, Norway
The Søndre Folgefonna glacier extends over 167 square kilometers across multiple municipalities, making it Norway's third largest mainland glacier formation.
The establishment of Folgefonna National Park in 2005 marked a significant step in protecting this natural ice mass and its surrounding landscapes.
Local communities near Søndre Folgefonna maintain connections to the glacier through winter sports, water resources, and environmental education programs.
Visitors can access guided glacier walks, ice climbing sessions, and summer skiing activities from June through October with certified mountain guides.
The glacier's meltwater serves as the source for Isklar bottled water production, demonstrating the direct commercial use of glacial resources.
