Ava Lansch

Today we skied in thick fog and I suddenly noticed these 'terraces' of ice and snow just 5 meters above my head - and I instantly thought this could be a 'wannabe' avalanche. This is right above a busy ski route, so I wondered how this was allowed by the (otherwise so professional and efficient) Austrian operators of SkiWelt... Perhaps shows how much I (don't) understand snow and ice :) Taken by maistora

Are growing.

To the Northern Lands We Go...

"Kirkenes, the capital of Sør-Varanger municipality in the northernmost country; Finnmark, is located as far north-east as possible in Norway (70º north - 30 º east). The municipality has about 10 000 inhabitants spread over a territory of 3.670 km2 and borders both to Russia and Finland. The nature is different from the rest of Norway. There are many eastern plant-species growing in the municipality that are rare or non existent in other parts of Norway.
They have a Reindeer Park with a Lavvu or Sami tent: Of course walking around these tamed reindeer and feeding them (they eat reindeer moss) is exotic, even for a Norwegian". Taken by RennyBA
