Norway's third-largest glacier park on the Folgefonna peninsula
Folgefonna National Park is a 545-square-kilometre protected area in Vestland county, Norway, established in 2005. The park occupies the mountainous Folgefonna peninsula, spanning the municipalities of Kvinnherad, Etne, and Ullensvang. Its defining feature is Folgefonna, a massive ice cap comprising three connected glaciers—Nordre Folgefonna, Midtre Folgefonna, and Søndre Folgefonna—which together form the third-largest glacier in Norway. The park encompasses dramatic glacial landscapes, steep valleys, and a transition from valley farms below to barren alpine terrain above the tree line. Queen Sonja formally opened the park in May 2005, marking its establishment as one of Norway's newer national parks.
