Bøyabreen, Glacier arm in Fjærland, Norway

Bøyabreen extends from an elevation of 1700 meters down to 600 meters, with steep ice formations visible from the nearby road.

The glacier functions as an environmental monitor, demonstrating the effects of climate variations through its physical changes over the past centuries.

The Norwegian Glacier Museum near Bøyabreen educates visitors about glacier formation processes and their role in Norwegian natural science.

Visitors can access the glacier viewing area through a dedicated parking lot located 30 minutes from Sogndal by car.

The glacier exhibits continuous ice erosion patterns, creating new formations as chunks of ice separate from the main body throughout the seasons.
