We decided to head for Larsbreen glacier to take a look at the meltwater channels and other deep holes that are new products of this past summer. The main reason was to be able to avoid bad spots when on skis later in the winter. It is good to know the terrain below snow. We could naturally not resist in checking some holes that most likely nobody has explored before...
Lunta ei vielä juurikaan ole / We don't really have that much snow yet |
Syviä (5-8m) sulamisvesiuomia / Deep (5-8m) melt water channels |
Opastetut jääluolaretket on jo aloitettu / Guided icecaving trips have started |
Ensin köysilaskeutuminen (30m) ja sitten... / The entrance |
Syvällä ollaan / A walk in the depths of the glacier |
