Folgefonna National Park (Norwegian: Folgefonna nasjonalpark) is a 545.2km2 national park in Hordaland county, Norway. The park is located on the Folgefonna peninsula and it spans the municipalities of Jondal, Kvinnherad, Etne, Odda, and Ullensvang. The national park was opened by Queen Sonja on 14 May 2005. Folgefonna is a collective term for three glaciers in the park (Nordre Folgefonna, Midtre Folgefonna, and Søndre Folgefonna). At 168km2, Folgefonna is the third largest ice cap in Norway. It probably reaches a maximum thickness of 300to. Its highest point is 1662m above sea level, and this is believed to be one of the wettest places in Norway, receiving an estimated annual precipitation of around 5500mm.
