Simlebreen (Lule Sámi: Vátjamjåkjiehkke) is a glacier in Beiarn, Nordland, Norway. The 21km2 glacier lies about North of the much larger glacier named Svartisen, making it the 18th largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland.[1] However a 2018 study concluded that the glacier's area had diminished from 22km2 in 1999, to 17.5km2 in 2018.[2] The mountain Simletinden lies on the East side of the glacier, reaching a height of 1,329 m (4,360 ft).
