Svartissen!

After some nice sunny times (along with the aviation museum) in Bodo, I caught the Bus to Halsa, and got dropped off on the side of the road just past Holland (after the 7 km long tunnel just past Glomfjord–the tunnels are impressive!). I met up with other workshop-ers on the bus, and we caught the bus across the fjord to Engabreen. Here’s a “teaser” photo of the view from the tunnel portal. We stayed at the lodge on the lake opposite the glacier.

Day one of the workshop was ~2km in the tunnel, under the glacier, under 200 m of ice. So here I am, with 200 m of ice above me.
