Engabreen Glacier


The Engabreen glacier is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a glacial tongue of the Svartisen glacier,which has steadily increased in mass since the 1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in. This site located at 66°42'9.26"N - 13°32'9.50"E.

You'll find an interesting radio programme about life in the glacier and listen to the sounds inside and hear about how the glacier moves up to 10 metres a year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/nature_20060529.shtml
(Deirdre on that same side you will find another interesting programme "The sounds of the Galapagos")
