A summer in northern lands; the journal of a trip to Scandinavia . A SUMMER IN NORTHERN LANDS 77 their tales of how they made the ascent ofthe **Slogen* or some other peak. Although the weather looked threatening,after dinner we took stolkjaerres for thedrive to Hellesylt. About five kilometersfrom Oie up the Norangdal there is a lakethat was formed May 28, 1908 by a land-slide from the top of the Kjeipen, whichdammed up the valley. The pond, formedby the dam is about six hundred and fiftyyards long and, as we passed up along itsshore, we could see down in the clear waterthe ruins of several houses, while, coming upout of the depths, at the upper end of thelake, we could see over a hundred yards ofthe old road. The boy who drove my carttold me he had often passed over this pieceof road before the water was there. AtHellesylt we had supper after which wetook a steamer for the Geiranger Fjord,noted for its bold cliffs and many most famous of the latter are theSeven Sisters, that fall from a perpendicu-lar rock over a thousand feet high.
