Norway Lofoten Islands

Sommarsetvatnet hike

The Sommarsetvatnet hike is an (unexpectedly) delightful hike that ascends from the fjord up to an alpine lake, surrounded by mountain peaks

Kitchen Hut, Cradle Mountain

Kitchen Hut at the foot of Cradle Mountain is as far as I get when a planned bushwalk to Barn Bluff is thwarted by bad weather

Cradle Mountain: a winter ascent

Cradle Mountain (1,545m) is a popular day-walk from Dove Lake. The bushwalk and views from the Cradle summit are even more picturesque on a clear winter day.
