}}Nigardsbreen ({{lang-en|the Nigard Glacier}})[1][2][3] is a glacier arm of the large Jostedalsbreen glacier. Nigardsbreen lies about {{convert|30|km}} north of the village of Gaupne in the Jostedalen valley, Luster, Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located just west of the Jostedøla river.[4]

The Breheimsenteret museum is located {{convert|11|km}} south in the village of Jostedal. In front of the Nigardsbreen is the lake Nigardsbrevatnet where there is a small boat to transport visitors to the glacier. There is also a bus to take visitors to the glacier.

History

During the first half of the 18th century, the glacier expanded due to cold weather. Then during the winters of 1741-1744 were extremely cold. Apples and pears did not ripen during the summer and the bee populations perished. Between 1700 and 1748, the glacier moved forward about {{convert|4|km}} completely covering and crushing the "Nigard" farm (hence the name of the glacier). By 1748, the Nigardsbreen covered about {{convert|48|km2}}. From 1930 until 1939, the glacier retracted again.

Safety

Nigardbreen has seen several severe accidents involving tourists ignoring the local safety warnings. In July 1986 two people, a Danish woman and her 8-year-old daughter, died when hit by chunks of ice that fell from the glacier. In 1994 a Polish woman was left in critical condition after being hit by falling ice. In 2014 a German couple died as a result of being crushed by ice; their children standing close by survived physically unharmed.[5][6][7] In August 2018 an Austrian man drowned when a wave caused by a huge block of ice swept him into the glacial river.[8]
