Svellnosbreen Glacier

On a perfect summer day I did a guided hike across the stunning Svellnosbreen in Jotunheimen National Park. I didn't know what to expect and it exceeded any expectations I might have had. It went straight into the top 10 of things I've done in my life so far. It marked the beginning of my fascination with glaciers.

At the foot of the Svellnosbreen. In the distance another group of hikers.

At this point I'm already well onto or should I say into the glacier

I was the last in line

Follow the guide...

I was the last in line allowing me to take these snapshots

Notice the border between "eternal" snow and glacier

Goodbye Svellnosbreen. I wonder what will be left if I ever have a chance to visit again.
