Styggebrean, Glacier in Lom Municipality, Norway.
The Styggebrean Glacier extends across the northern face of Galdhøpiggen mountain, featuring deep crevasses and blue-tinted ice formations throughout its expanse.
The glacier has been a critical part of Jotunheimen National Park since its establishment in 1980, marking a milestone in Norwegian natural preservation efforts.
Norwegian mountaineering traditions center around Styggebrean, where groups of 25 to 100 people regularly participate in guided glacier climbs throughout the season.
The ascent from Juvasshytta Lodge requires three hours, and climbers must carry essential equipment including ropes, ice axes, and specific glacier gear.
The glacier provides access to Galdhøpiggen, Northern Europe's highest peak at 2,469 meters, through a route with 600 meters of elevation gain.
