Buarbreen Glacier, Odda, Norway

Photochrom 7019 Buarbrae Glacier, Odde. The best guess I can come up with is that this nice picture is of the Buarbreen Glacier, in Odda, Norway. Buarbreen is in itself one of the largest outflow glaciers of the Folgefonna, a collective of three glaciers covering 203 square kilometres in Hardanger.

Yes, you are right. This is Buarbreen Glacier, in Odda, Norway indeed. Do you know when this picture has been taken?

Hi Jarek,
This is a photochrom, a print, not a straightforward photo as you know it, though it is based on a photo. These prints are colourised images produced from black and white photographic negatives in a printing process.
But to answer your question: the picture is likely to have been made between 1890 and 1900.
