Description

Norway, Stygge Lake and glacier Some adventure companies offer trips for tourists: Styggevatnet (1200m above sea level) is covered by snow from winter until early July. In JUNE they offer SNOW SHOE tours over the frozen lake and onto the glacier. In JULY, once the lake has de-frosted, they begin the KAYAKING tours. The Austdalsbreen (Glacier) with its 30m HIGH FRONT calves towers of ice into the lake. They also start a trip on the blue ice at the Glacier front. Walking around huge crevasses toward the centre of the glacier for a commanding view over the lake and the National Park. I wish you all a wonderful weekend ;o))) Thanks for all welcome comments and visits.

That's an impressive scale in the second shot. I don't think I'd want to be kayaking near the base of the glacier though.

Ich würde mich dort nicht im Kajak auf den See trauen. Der ist sicherlich eiskalt! Wunderschönes Foto!

Ziemlich öde und leer, seitdem die richtigen Vickinger ausgestorben sind! :)

Pour un 1er avril, il s'agit d'y scruter le monstre du Loch Ness ou un petit poisson d'avril - bonne ballade For a 1st April, it is a question of scrutinizing the monster Loch Ness or a small fish of April - good ballad
