Sulitjelma Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Sulitjelma Glacier is one of the largest glaciers in mainland Norway, covering about 24 square kilometers. Most of the ice lies in Fauske Municipality in Nordland county, Norway, roughly 40 kilometers east of the town of Fauske, but its eastern portion crosses the border into Arjeplog and Jokkmokk municipalities in Norrbotten County, Sweden. Counted as a whole across both countries, it is also the largest glacier in Sweden.
