Strupbreen is a glacier located in the municipality of Lyngen in Troms county, Norway. The 8.7-square-kilometre (3.4 sq mi) glacier is located in the Lyngen Alps, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of the village of Lyngseidet. Historically, the glacier has at times reached all the way down to the Lyngenfjorden. Today the end of the glacier lies about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the shoreline, with a small stream of water flowing from the glacier to the fjord.[1]
