The view from my balcony

[dragonfang-photography]

Only about 100m below the summit now. Bit more hiking on rocks, and then a short jaunt across a glacier to get to the top.

The peaks along the mountain range at image centre are, from nearest to farthest: Blankbergan, Blokktindan, two peaks with no names that I can find, Fuglen, Rødsandheia.

The fjord in the background is Hadselfjorden, specifically Sortlandsundet. The tiiiny bit of lake just barely visible below and right of image centre past the foreground boulders is the north tip of Fjerde Fiskfjordvatnet. Just below and left of image centre is a sliver of Tredje Fiskfjordvatnet, and just to the left of that is visible a small bit of the eastern arm of Andre Fiskefjordvatnet. Yes, there is also a Første Fistefjordvatnet, but it’s hidden behind the mountain on the left. There is a hint of Mellom Blokkvatnet peeking out below the cloud cover to the right.

The island across the fjord is Langøya, with Sortlandbrua, the bridge connecting Langøya and Hinnøya, very faintly visible right of image centre.

The mountain at centre with its very distinctive kind-of-South-America-shaped glacier is Møysalen, and the two smaller peaks to its right are Lille Møya and Store Møya. Møysalen reaches 1262m (4140 feet) above sea level, and straddles the border between the municipalities of Sortland in the region of Vesterålen, and Lødingen in the region of Ofoten.

Photo taken looking east-northeast from the quay in Fiskebøl on Austvågøya while we were waiting to take the ferry across Hadselfjorden to Melbu on Hadseløya.

My dad saw this mountain on the horizon almost every day of his childhood but never got the opportunity to hike it, so when my parents visited in July of 2011 and we took a trip up to my dad’s hometown, he was determined to finally cross it off his bucket list. I love hiking in the mountains so of course I was along for the trek.

Same view as an earlier post but with a bit less cloud cover. Peaks along the mountain ridge at centre are, from left to right: Rødsandheia, Fuglen, two unnamed peaks, Blokktindan, Blankbergan. Fisketindan is to the left in shade. Island across Hadselfjorden is Langøya.

Memuritinden is the dark-coloured peak to the left, the triangular confluence of ridges is Kvanntoheia and the mountain beyond it at image centre is Kjerketinden, and the peaks to the right are Totinden and Tretinden. The fjord in the distance is Hadselfjorden, specifically Sortlandsundet (the Sortland Sound). Small patches of Lonkanfjorden visible between the mountains to the left, and ice-covered Øvre Møysalvatnet just below and to the right of image centre.

Panoramic view out over an all-too-brief bit of level ground. Back to the upward trek very soon.

Attempting to attach the correct names to the peaks, from (mostly) left to right: Durmålstindan, little bit of Høgfjellet visible behind Durmålstindan, Rennarvasstinden, Nipa, Jolitinden. More peaks visible behind that ridge of mountains but I am very uncertain which ones they are, aside from them being along the south coast of Ingelsfjorden. Darker-coloured peak to the immediate left of the plateau hill at image centre is Memurutinden. Peak just poking out above the hill is Kjerketinden and just below that to the right is Kvanntoheia. The rest of them, left-to-right, are Totinden, Tretinden (the one with the slot-like gap in it), the multiple unnamed high points along the ridge of Fisketindan, and Blokktindan over on the far right.

Way in the back is Sortlandsundet, part of Hadselfjorden.

Should I post a labelled version? I feel like this list may be difficult to follow.

Synes det er et fascinerende med Havfarmen som ligger og danser ute på Hadselfjorden. Vel og merke er dette en timelapse. #havfarm #nordlaks #laks #salmon #bokavanguard @nordlaks (ved Stokmarknes, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgjLYzgfBw/?igshid=1kkkb2uivw91k
