Glacier in Nordland, Norway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simlebreen (Norwegian) or Vátjamjåkjiehkke (Lule Sami)[1] is a glacier in Beiarn Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 21-square-kilometre (8.1 sq mi) glacier lies about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the much larger glacier named Svartisen, making it the 18th largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland.[2] However a 2018 study concluded that the glacier's area had diminished from 22-square-kilometre (8.5 sq mi) in 1999, to 17.5-square-kilometre (6.8 sq mi) in 2018.[3] The mountain Simletinden lies on the East side of the glacier, reaching a height of 1,329 metres (4,360 ft).[citation needed]
