Glittertind, Mountain summit in Jotunheimen, Norway
The Glittertind mountain reaches 2452 meters with a summit covered by an ice cap that varies between 10 to 15 meters in thickness.
Harald Nicolai Storm Wergeland and Hans Sletten completed the initial ascent of Glittertind in 1841, marking the first documented climb of this peak.
The name Glittertind originates from the river Glitra and the word tind, reflecting the Norwegian practice of naming peaks after nearby water features.
Climbers can start their journey from Glitterheim Lodge, following a marked pathway that covers 15 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1080 meters.
The mountain height fluctuates annually due to its ice cap, occasionally surpassing Galdhøpiggen when the ice thickness exceeds 17 meters.
