Tips
The Svartisen is Norway's second largest glacier. Glaciers form from fallen snow, which over thousands of years is condensed into large, thick ice masses. For glaciers unique is their ability to move independently. The Svartisen has 60 glacier tongues and covers an area of 370 km2. Due to its lowest point, which is only 20 m above sea level, it is also the deepest glacier on the European mainland.
The Svartisen glacier is easy to reach from Mo i Rana. Through the Røvasstal a road leads up to the Svartisen glacier lake. In summer you can take the boat across the fjord.translated by
