Bøyabreen
A glacier tongue visible right from the road. Its milky-green meltwater lake, dotted with floating ice, is a must-stop on the way through Fjærland.
Bøyabreen is a glacier tongue on the southwestern side of the Jostedalsbreen ice cap, pouring down from the high ice field. In front of the tongue lies a milky-green lake, often dotted with calved ice. From the Norwegian Glacier Museum, drive about 8 km north on Route 5. From a roadside restaurant parking area, it is a 10 to 15 minute walk to the edge of the lake, requiring almost no hiking, so it suits all visitors. The glacier has retreated noticeably in recent years, so do not approach the ice cliffs.
