One of the extensions of Svartisen, Engabreen ends at the lowest point of any glacier on the European mainland, at 7 meters above sea level (in 2004). Briksdalsbreen is one of the more popular parts of Jostedalsbreen (Image from 2005)

These are the largest glaciers on mainland Norway.[1] However, the 18 largest glaciers in the Kingdom of Norway are on Svalbard, including the second largest glacier in Europe, Austfonna on Nordaustlandet. In total, Norway has around 1,600 glaciers - 900 of these are in North Norway, but 60% of the total glacier area is south of Trøndelag. 1% of mainland Norway is covered by glaciers.[2]
