Week 3 Svartisen

I decided to visit Norway this week to see a glacier called Svartisen. Svartisen is known as the second largest glacier in Norway with 60 glacier tongues. A glacier tongue is a long sheet of ice projecting out the ground. Before anything else i took in the scenery as it seemed quite peaceful. It turns out that there are actually two glaciers present in Nordland county. The summer months usually see more visitors than any other time. The melting of the glacier has accelerated over the years and there is no telling how long it will be able to survive according to some scientists.
