The glacier is located at the end of a small valley (named Bondhusdalen), just south of the village of Sunndal on the shore of the Maurangsfjorden. Water draining under the glacier is caught through a tunnel and exploited in the Mauranger Hydroelectric Power Station.{{cite encyclopedia |title=Bondhusbreen |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon|editor=Henriksen, Petter |editor-link=Petter Henriksen |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo|url=http://www.snl.no/Bondhusbreen |language=Norwegian|accessdate=27 August 2011}}
