A Glimpse into the Past: Melting Glaciers and Climate Change

As we marvel at the frozen wonders, it is crucial to acknowledge the reality of our changing planet. Glaciers worldwide are melting at an alarming rate, losing more than 1.2 trillion tons per year. The Jostedal glacier, too, is succumbing to this global phenomenon. By joining our glacier hikes, you not only witness the beauty of these ice giants but also gain a deeper understanding of the urgent need for environmental conservation.

A Race Against Time: Witness the Vanishing Beauty

The landscapes you explore today may not be the same tomorrow. Jostedalsbreen is expected to lose huge amounts of its current cover by the next 50 years Looking ahead to 2200, the projections are even more disheartening, with most of the Norwegian  ice disappearing forever.

See the glacier from a distance

Not all of the glacier arms of Jostedalsbreen can be experienced on a guided tour. The beautiful glacier arms Fresvikbreen, Bergsetbreen and Bøyabreen can be experienced from a distance as the road up there is not safe. You can experience Bøyabreen at Brevasshytta in Fjærland and Bergsetbreen is only an hour's easy walk from the road in Jostedalen.

Let this be your chance to tread upon ancient ice, to witness the grandeur of glaciers, and to contribute to the collective awareness of our planet's fragile beauty. 

The glaciers are calling, and the time to answer is now.
