is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a

part (a glacial tongue) of the Svartisen glacier,

which has steadily increased in mass since the

1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in.)

Norway's glaciers growing at record pace. The face of the Briksdal
glacier, an off-shoot of the largest glacier in Norway and mainland
Europe, is growing by an average 7.2 inches (18 centimeters) per day.

"During the last century glaciers in Norway retreated as glaciers in
other parts of the world. However, in the 1990s many Norwegian
glaciers advanced as a result of several winters in a row with
precipitation above normal. During the last four years, however,
Norwegian glaciers have decreased significantly, shrinking both in
volume and length. Several consecutive years of little winter
precipitation, and record-warm summers in 2002 and 2003, have taken
their toll."
