29 May E39 Jetkvik to Storvik

Our first night stop in the Arctic circle (this IS night time!)
P1170075
Having a cheeky glass of vino (imported from Spain by us..haha)
P1170080
and in the morning (today) we awoke to this………..
P1170085
Then our last ferry journey on the Kystriksveien coastal road from Ågskardet to Forøy started from here (just look at the colour of the water!)
P1170088
Our first ‘glimpse’ of the Svartisen Glacier, which is the 2nd largest in Norway
P1170094
a few miles along the road we spotted this glacial calving (ice river to you and me!)
P1170100
in close up!
P1170104
After driving through a 7600 metre long tunnel (!) we drove up a rather precarious service road to the Holmvass Dam.  This turned out to be along another really steep (and I do mean really steep!) service tunnel only to find out that the road was closed at the top due to snow!   See photo below….haha
P1170112
but the view looking back down the road was impressive...
