SC158- Literary inspiration

Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970) war ein norwegischer Schriftsteller aus Telemark, der in Nynorsk schrieb, der zweiten offiziellen norwegischen Sprache, die von 10-15% der Norweger, vor allem in den südwestlichen Fjorden und Fjells, gesprochen wird.

Für seinen 1963 erschienenen Roman Is-slottet (Das Eis-Schloss) bekam er den Literaturpreis des Nordischen Rates.

Das Eis-Schloss ist ein gefrorener Wasserfall, in dem sich eine der Protagonistinnen, die 11jährige Unn, verläuft und erfriert.

"Wieder ein neuer Raum. Er war wirklich klein und erfüllt von vielen tropfenden Eiszapfen an der Decke, erfüllt von irgendwie vom Boden heraufwachsenden Eiszapfen, rissige Wände in vielerlei verschiedenen Neigungen, so dick, dass das grüne Licht gedämpft wurde. Nicht gedämpft war der Wasserfall, hier war sein Rauschen auf einmal ganz nah oder unten oder wo auch immer- man war irgendwie mitten darin."

Gullfoss and Hvítágljúfur

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 08:17:43 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

Gullfoss is one of Iceland's best known waterfalls. There the river Hvitá which originates in Langjökull glacier drops over two 11 and 21m high cascades into a deep gorge. Hvítágljúfur gorge is up to 70m deep and 2,5 km long.
The photos taken from the northern upper viewpoint show the 2nd cascade and the gorge.

Gljúfrabúi

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 08:21:12 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

Gljúfrabúi, the hidden waterfall, lies at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull volcano and is part of Katla Geopark. It is just 600m from much better known Seljalandsfoss and much less crowded. To get to the waterfall you either have to wade the stream or balance on wet rocks and once you are in front of the falls you get a full shower - I stayed outside;-)

See note for context.

Urriðafoss

Gudrun has posted:

These falls in the river Þjórsá have the highest average flow rate (360 m³/s) of any waterfall in Iceland. Sadly its days might be numbered because there are plans for a dam and power station.

Dettifoss

Dettifoss, 45m high and 100m wide, is one of Europe's mightiest waterfalls. River Jökulsá a Fjöllum comes from the northern side of Vatnajökull and has carved a deep gorge (Jökulsárgljúfur) with several waterfalls.

Gudrun has posted:

Selfoss is the southernmost waterfall at Jökulsárgljúfur, just 1 km from better known Dettifoss. It is 10m high and horseshoe shaped. Dettifoss may be higher and mightier but Selfoss is more varied and much less visited.

Selfoss ist der südlichste der Wasserfälle in Jökulsárgljúfur, nur 1 km vom bekannteren Dettifoss entfernt. Er ist 10m hoch und hufeisenförmig. Dettifoss mag höher und mächtiger sein, aber Selfoss ist abwechslungsreicher und viel weniger überlaufen.

The hidden waterfall

Gudrun has posted:

Gljúfrabúi, the hidden waterfall, is just a short walk from better known Seljalandsfoss. Lying under Eyjafjallajökull volcano, it is 40m high and mostly hidden by palagonite rocks in front of it. Getting a nearer view involves scrambling up the rocks or wading the river, both can be hazardous.

Gljúfrabúi, der vesteckte Wasserfall, ist einen kurzen Spaziergang vom bekannteren Seljalandsfoss entfernt. Er ist 40 m hoch, liegt unterhalb des Eylafjallajökull und ist weitestgehend von Palagonitfelsen verdeckt. Näher heran kommt man nur, wenn man entweder den Felsen hochklettert oder den Fluss durchwatet, beides nicht ganz ungefährlich.

Ventisquero colgante

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:06:44 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

Ventisquero Colgante is the main attraction of Queulat National Park. Although the park covers 1541 km² only small sections along Ruta 7 (Carretera Austral) are open to the public, the large part is undisturbed rainforest, mountains and glacier.

The hanging glacier originates from a small 80 km² icefield and can often be heard and seen calving into the lagoon below it. On our visit a large chunk broke off, sadly we were in the forest at the time and the trees were in the way of a decent photo.

The inset photos are from the eastern viewpoint

and from Laguna de los Témpanos (the footpath to the western mirador was closed).
