Björlings glaciär

Björlings glaciär, Glacier on Kebnekaise massif in Kiruna Municipality, Sweden

Björlings glaciär is a glacier on the slopes of Kebnetjåkka below Kebnekaise's southern peak, in the southeastern edge of the Kebnekaise massif. Its tongue descends toward Kitteldalen. It covers about 1.6 square kilometres and reaches a maximum depth of 225 metres.

The glacier is named after Johan Alfred Björling, who on 19 July 1889 reached Kebnekaise's southern peak via the route now called the Western Trail, together with Axel Hultman and a third companion. The massif's glaciers were later surveyed by researchers; Stockholm University publishes information on Björlings glaciär.

The glacier carries the name of Johan Alfred Björling, who on 19 July 1889 reached Kebnekaise's southern peak via what is now the Western Route, together with Axel Hultman and a third companion. The name keeps that first ascent in the landscape below the summit.

Hikers reach this glacier via the eastern trail, which crosses over the lower section of the ice. The path is a common way to climb Kebnekaise, so be ready for changing conditions and hazards typical of glacier terrain.

The glacier's tongue descends toward Kitteldalen, and its ice reaches a maximum depth of 225 metres, with an average depth of 94 metres. Its area has been measured at about 1.47 square kilometres, slowly shrinking over time.
