15 reviews of Briksdal Glacier

The Ice is Blue

They told me the ice here was blue, so we went to check out the Jostedalsbreen National Park in Sogn Og Fjordane, Norway to watch the Briksdalsbreen or the Briksdal glacier, which is one of the best known and most accessible glaciers in the country. From where you leave the car after an hour or so of walking through the park we reached the glacier's tongue and I have to say it was quite impressive to see the size of it in the lake thawing into an intense blue color. I recommend getting the glacier crampons and climbing the tongue (always accompanied by an expert). I didn't have one with me and I felt like I was going to fall at any given time and break my leg, but I went slowly and relaxed and enjoyed the scenery and my walk through the ice.

The beauty of nature

It's the most impressive thing I've ever seen, for it's strength alone. It fights against everything thrown at it, but its weakness is that it's mostly melted due to climate change. The forces of nature are very powerful, but even they can be destroyed if were not careful.
