The Jostefonn glacier is located in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It covers an area of around 11 square kilometres (4.2 sq mi) in the municipalities of Førde, Sogndal, and Balestrand. Jostefonn was formerly a part of the large Jostedalsbreen glacier, but it is no longer connected to the main glacier. It sits inside the Jostedalsbreen National Park, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of the village of Haukedalen and about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of the village of Fjærland. The Grovabreen glacier lies about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of this glacier.[1]
