From my recollection travelling through that area before, it's ALL
beautimous. So I would ask if there are any glaciers that one can
drive to and walk someone close to the face? That would definitely
shape my route. Any ideas?
Not aware of any worthwhile glacier faces on mainland Europe (even in Norway).
You have to go to the far north islands (Iceland/Greenland/Svalbard) for that

That depends on your definition of "worthwhile".

Norway is the most beautiful places I've driven, the whole length of it
is. It's a tour a person should take once in their lives. And the
Lofoten penninsula in particular... it's Land Of The Lost.


I can't handle a lot of walking nowadays, so I'm traveling by ship-- going
south on the Hurtigruten this time, with a Lofoten excursion. It'snice
taking the hotel and restaurant along! 8-). I took the northbound trip a
few years ago, between Viking ship museums in Copenhagen(well, Roskilde)
and Oslo. Gorgeous country!
