Nordmannsfonna

Nord­manns­fon­na 1

Nord­manns­fon­na is a small ice cap, about 500 m high, which is fre­quent­ly tra­ver­sed in the late win­ter on the way to the east coast. Even though it is only a cou­ple of kilo­me­t­res that you spend tra­vel­ling across the more or less even ter­rain of the ice cap, you get a nice impres­si­on of the vast land­scapes of an ice cap. The hori­zon seems to be very ar away.

Most peo­p­le who get to Nord­manns­fon­na will be out on a snow mobi­le tour, but this beau­tiful area can also be part of an ama­zing but quite deman­ding ski hike of seve­ral days, alt­hough snow mobi­le traf­fic in Advent­da­len and Sas­send­a­len may be annoy­ing at times. But the­re are alter­na­ti­ve, quie­ter rou­tes and the infi­ni­te spaces on the gla­ciers towards the east coast, which is what you see in this pan­ora­ma, are just infi­ni­te­ly beau­tiful!
