Jostedalsbreen National Park and Briksdalsbreen

Jostedalsbreen National Park contains the largest glacier in continental Europe. However, the most visited glacier in the park is Briksdalsbreen, due to its easy access.


Spectacular views of the park

Leaving the park, I sat at the very last row of the bus, and took some of the best rearview photos.

In National Park's gift shop, there were postcards of the glacier from years past.  We were saddened by how much the glacier has receded in the last few decades.  I found a video on Youtube that shows this.
