Huge waves and hurricane at Kråkenes lighthouse, Norway.

The Kråkenes lighthouse station was built in 1906. Of all the lighthouses in the country this is the one which is most exposed to the elements. It also serves as a meteorological station. It is not uncommon to report of wind forces exceeding the hurricane level which is the highest point instruments can measure. The lighthouse is located 42 metres above sea level, but the waves may even reach this high as you will see in this movie. When the weather is stormy it is a tremendous experience to stand at a safe distance from the foaming waves studying the frenzied ocean.

This storm at Kråkenes lighthouse (4/2-11) was broadcastet at the daily evening news program by the Norwegian television channel (NRK),  see here and here. See also this report in Fjordenes Tidende newspaper.

Spectacular aerial views of Bergen, Norway.

Get ready for spectacular aerial views of beautiful Bergen in this video. Bergen is recognized as the unofficial capital of the region known as West Norway, and also recognized and marketed as the gateway city to one of the world's most spectacular tourist attractions - The Norwegian Fjords, which have now been included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The population of Bergen is 256 507 (Jan. 2010). The city is located on the south-western coast of Norway with its center situated between a group of mountains known as "de syv fjell" (the seven mountains). Bergen belongs to the exclusive group of cities listed by UNESCO as part of the world heritage, through its characteristic old wooden waterfront, Bryggen with a number of old, wooden houses from the early 18th century, the product of rebuilding after a fire in 1702.

Bondhusbreen Glacier in Bondhusdalen Valley, Norway.

Great view of the Bondhusbreen glacier. Bondhusbreen is an offshoot of the Folgefonna glacier in Norway. Folgefonna glacier is the third largest glacier in the mainland of Norway.  From Sundal at the Mauranger Fjord there is a quality gravel road, Isvegen to Lake Bondhusvatnet. The road was built in 1863 to transport ice from the Bondhusbreen Glacier down to the fjord for export. It has later been maintained as an unusually beautiful tourist attraction. The Bondhusbrea glacier is often mentioned as the best site for glacier climbing in the country.

The Bondhusdalen valley is central in Folgefonna National Park, and it is not a coincidence that this was the location where the National Park was opened May 14th, 2005 by Queen Sonja. You can see her signature on a rock by Lake Bondhusvatnet. The area has been a magnet for tourists and mountain goers since the middle of the 1800’s
