An outlet glacier of the Jostedalsbreen ice cap that descends into Briksdalen valley, ending in a proglacial lake at around 346 metres above sea level. The glacier is notable for its blue ice walls, crevasses, and the abrupt terminus that calves small icebergs into the lake below. The valley itself is accessible by road to within about four kilometres of the glacier front, with a walking trail continuing to the ice margin.
