This painting is a piece of the Engabreen glacier (Svartissen) - Norway.

Svartisen (black ice) is the name for two glaciers near Meløy in the Nordland county of northern Norway.

The glacier is located in the Saltfjellet-Svartisen national park northwest of Mo i Rana. The Engabreen is a side arm of the glacier.

Together this whole area covers 369 km². The two largest glaciers are:

• Vestre Svartisen (221 km²), which is the second largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland (after Jostedalsbreen).
• Østre Svartisen (148 km²), which is the fourth largest glacier.
