A good squeeze, it was... :-) Well actually, two of the four parties on the glacier are coming down. But it was disappointingly crowded up there. > My congratulations - a great effort. Thanks.

Well Norwegian landscape is toted as very dramatic, but by sheer measurment the absolute numbers are not that great. However you get to see it very up close, and there are signs of human presence (past or present) for scale. Places like New Zealand and Chile have very similar landscapes, and in grander scales, but don't have as long a history of attempts to eke a farmer's living out of the land.
