Lodalskåpa, Mountain summit in Stryn Municipality, Norway
Lodalskåpa rises 2,083 meters above sea level as the highest peak on Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe.
The first documented ascent of Lodalskåpa took place in 1820 when Gottfried Bohr led an expedition to reach the mountain summit.
The mountain's name combines Lodalen, meaning meadow valley, with kåpe, signifying coat, referring to the glacier covering the peak.
Climbers begin their journey at Bødalsæter, following a route across Bohrsbreen glacier before reaching the southwest ridge of the mountain.
The mountain stands as a nunatak, emerging directly through the ice field, with a prominence of 760 meters from its surrounding terrain.
