    Easy 4/5 hour hike. Beautiful coast, lovely mountains. On the way back there is quite a stretch along the car road... If you would walk to the harbour there is loads of puffins on the cliffs in July -mid August.

    A nice walk for seeing changing views on the glacier. Easy but long walk. The last part of the way up was a bit more difficult in piles of moving rocks... You can easily decide when you’ve had enough and then turn back.....
