Supphellebreen, glacier in Sogndal, Norway
Supphellebreen is a glacier in Sogndal Municipality in western Norway and part of the larger Jostedalsbreen ice system. The surface displays deep crevasses and icy ridges, with the ice taking on a blue tint in summer sunlight while meltwater streams flow down into the valleys below.
The glacier has shaped valleys and landscapes for thousands of years through its slow, steady movement across the land. The area attracted visitors long before modern times, as people sought to understand this ancient ice and its role in carving the terrain.
The glacier is best accessed during warmer months, with guided tours lasting several hours on marked trails. Visitors should wear warm clothing, watch for uneven ground, and follow guide instructions to stay safe on the ice and near crevasses.
The glacier is noticeably less visited than other well-known ice masses, offering a quieter and more private experience. Visitors often walk alone or in small groups, able to hear the sounds of cracking ice and flowing water in this remote setting.
