Glosnivån is a natural landmark located in the northern part of Sweden. It is a significant geological formation characterized by its unique rock structures and surrounding flora. The area is known for its relative remoteness and pristine condition, attracting a small number of visitors interested in nature and geology.

The bedrock of Glosnivån is primarily composed of ancient crystalline rocks, which have been shaped by glacial activity over millennia. Evidence of past ice ages can be observed in the distinct striations and erosional features present on the rock surfaces.

The vegetation is adapted to the harsh northern climate, with hardy mosses, lichens, and low-growing shrubs being common.

Its isolation contributes to a sense of wilderness and undisturbed natural beauty. Local communities in the vicinity may have historical or cultural ties to the area, although detailed information on this is limited. The precise origin of the name "Glosnivån" is not widely documented, but it is believed to be of local, possibly Sami, origin.
