A nice daytrip with my cousin to this amazing natural wonder. The glacial ice is so hard/dense, that even with a pick it takes impressive effort to chip off some ageless ice cubes, but their density is such that they can make it through at least three glasses of scotch before they've melted. Or so I was told...

Details of the hike are otherwise explained in the hike description I created. Definitely worth the visit. This part of Norway is stunningly beautiful. There really aren't enough words to describe it.
