Jostedal, Kayaking & Glacier hiking
Jostedalsbreen (English: Jostedal Glacier) is the largest glacier in continental Europe.
Jostedalsbreen has a total area of 487 square kilometres (188 sq mi). The highest point is Høgste Breakulen at 1,957 metres (6,421 ft) above mean sea level.
On our way to Lofoten and White sea we made one day stop and spent fantastic day on Jostedal. We were kayaking 6 km on sea kayaks to the glacier where we get professional glacier equipment for a completely unique glacier hike...
Great place and people from Icetroll. Thank you!

Norway Road Trip 2016 - Kayaking & Glacier Walk on Nigardsbreen
On the 5th of July, we had an amazing day in Norway. In the morning we started our Kayaking & Glacier Walk on the Nigardsbreen... together with some Ice Trolls ;)
In the morning we gathered at the Breheimsenteret located on road Fv334 coming from Gaupne when taking the road 604 and is located the side of Jostedalsbreen National Park and Breheimen National Park.
From the Breheimsenteret we drove up to Nigardsbrevatnet, the glacier lake. Before we reached the Nigardsbreen glacier to start our walk we used a kayak to cross the Nigardsbrevatnet. A nice trip on the turquoise coloured water from the glacier. As soon as we landed on the shore of a small beach at the bottom of the glacier we still had to walk up to the glacier it self. A stroll over bedrock which was clearly carved in the old days by the glacier. During this walk we also crossed a bridge over the glacier river. As soon as we arrived at the bottom of the glacier we geared up to start our trip over the Nigardsbreen glacier... well just watch the video! enjoy ;)

After a good sleep in our beautiful house and a delicious breakfast. we drove to the parking place at Nigardsbreen glacier. to begin the hike to the Nigardsbreen glacier. its one hour one way. it was good to do if you take it easy and be careful. what a great hike. After the hike, we took it easy and we had lunch. in the afternoon we drove to Styggevatnet lake & glacier. Amazingly beautiful. Really recommended. you can easily park here and there is a walk of half an hour to a view point. of course you can walk further to the glacier. only we had already done our best today.

Jostedal Glacier Tour
A short tour of the largest glacier in continental Europe. Tours are organized through the glacier visitor center. These run from a simple one hour tour to a full day excursion with climbing gear and ice axes. I only had time for the 1-hour tour. If I had the chance I would have taken the full day tour, the whole experience was amazing.
Norway-Highlight #3: glacier kayaking & walking on styggevatnet (part7/13)
Day 7: We leave Krossbu early in the mornig and drive to Jostedal. Here we meet our tourleader, the Icetroll's. At 10:00 we continue to the Styggevatnet-glacier lake ( a really big lake). With the aid of a two person kayak we crossed the lake. After a short lunch we hiked up to the glacier for one hour. At 6:00 pm we were back. Once again we are sad to stay here only for one day.
Equipment I use:
Videocamera Sony FDRAX53
Tripod Cullmann Magic
Hero6 for Timelapse
ND-Filter GOPRO

Austdalsbreen and Styggevatnet
In 2014 we tried to skate over Styggevatnet to the Austdal glacier but then the ice was to thin. Last week everything was perfect and we made it all the way over the ice to the Austdal glacier.

We Climbed a GLACIER!
WE'RE BACK!!! We had an amazing trip and didn't plan on posting a video today, but as we were sorting through our GoPro footage, the clips just fell into place. We had an opportunity to hike up a glacier in Jostedalsbreen National Park, Norway.
As it happened, we got a private tour of the glacier with our own guide for about an hour longer than normal. It was the real deal with ice crampon shoes, pick axes, harnesses, ropes etc.
Yes, Lauren is 4 months pregnant in this video but the guides were confident she would be fine. She was glad they let her come because it was a once in a lifetime experience!
Videos should resume as normal shortly :)
