Norwegian Views – Glaciers
Back in October, we were in the mountains of Hardangervidda for a week. Among other natural wonders, we walked and visited two different arms of the large Folgefonna glacier. One arm is visible from the valley Buerdalen and is called Buerbreen and we hiked towards this glacier on a very wet, rainy day but were able to see it more clearly another day from further away. The other arm we approached by hiking up the valley Sunndal and is called Bondhusbreen. That hike was on a strangely warm (for October) and very windy day.
This partial view of the Bondhusbreen glacier was seen on our way up the valley under moving clouds and intense sunshineBelow the Bondhusbreen glacier is a turquoise lake, Bondhusvatnet, that was being buffeted by the strong windA last partial view of Bondhusbreen peeking out in front of a low, October sunThis was a dark, grey view of Buerbreen glacier from across lake Sandvevatnet, whose turquoise waters were obscured by a layer of fogWe hiked up the Buerdalen valley on a rainy, cloudy day for a better look at Buerbreen glacierA zoomed in look at the blue of the glacier ice under clouds and fogA view of Buerbreen glacier from a different perspectiveAnother day, we had a clearer view of both the Buerbreen glacier as well as the lake SandvevatnetA closer view of the ice flow of Buerbreen glacier

My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy capturing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street art as well. View all posts by kewtiebird
