Sulitjelmaisen, Glacier in Sulitjelma massif, Norway and Sweden
The Sulitjelma Glacier extends across 33 square kilometers between Norway and Sweden, reaching from 1,680 meters to 830 meters above sea level.
Research studies from Stockholm University have documented the glacier's continuous retreat since measurements began, providing data about climate variations in northern Scandinavia.
The glacier carries three distinct names: Sulitjelmaisen in Norwegian, Sállajiegŋa in Lule Sami language, and Salajekna in Swedish.
Researchers access the glacier through established monitoring stations, with an automatic weather station positioned near the glacier's front collecting meteorological data.
The glacier functions as a natural dam, creating the Låmivatnet lake through the accumulation of runoff waters and meltwater at its terminus.
