Galdhopiggen is the highest mountain in Norway at about 8100 feet. It has extensive glaciers. Note in this picture the climbers roped together in the center heading for the ridge on the left which is the route. Note also in the lower left the reindeer hanging out on the glacier to cool off and escape from the mosquitoes. We drove from Boverdalen to the Juvasshytta hut (valley to moutaintop). Cousins Ingrid and Heidi climbed Galdhopiggen earlier this year.
