Simlebreen, Glacier in Beiarn, Norway.
The Simlebreen glacier extends across 21 square kilometers in Nordland county, reaching an elevation of 1,200 meters above sea level.
Scientific measurements from 1999 to 2018 documented the glacier's reduction from 22 square kilometers to 17.5 square kilometers, reflecting regional climate changes.
The glacier carries two names: Simlebreen in Norwegian and Vátjamjåkjiehkke in Lule Sami language, representing the multicultural heritage of northern Norway.
Visitors can access the glacier through designated routes in Nordland county, with the nearest reference point being Svartisen glacier 20 kilometers south.
Simlebreen stands as Norway's eighteenth largest mainland glacier, with the mountain Simletinden rising to 1,329 meters on its eastern edge.
