Strupbreen

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Strupbreen is a glacier in Lyngen Municipality in Troms county, Norway, covering about 8.7 square kilometers within the Lyngen Alps, roughly twelve kilometers north of the village of Lyngseidet. The glacier has historically reached all the way down to the Lyngenfjorden; today its terminus lies about two kilometers from the shoreline, with a stream carrying meltwater the rest of the way to the fjord.
