Woodfjorden, Liefdefjorden and BockfjordenBy Øystein Overrein (ed.), Jørn Henriksen, Bjørn Fossli Johansen, Kristin PrestvoldThis is the land of contrasts. By the large, flat Reinsdyrflya there is a great fjord system that stretches towards several mountain ridges of very different shapes and ages, including alpine summits of very old granite, majestic red mountains of Devonian sandstone, cone-shaped remnants of three volcanoes and even hot springs. Large glacier fronts calve in the sea, while polar bears are busy hunting for ringed seals and sweeping the islets for birds’ eggs. Updated May 2015 |
