8th June Svartisen

The ferry journey today was trouble free, the sea as flat as a dab. We have been driving today along a small coastal road recommended by fellow travellers. It was lovely but the rain and cloud meant that we did not get to really appreciate the scenery. We are now wild camping at the base of the Svartisen glacier, the sun is just beginning to shine through...hurrah! My photo today is of a 'tongue' of the glacier, unfortunately taken in poor weather. It is impossible to visualise the size of the glacier in a photo or the colour which is an amazing turquoise. What you can see is how the glacier is receding due to global warming.
