View of Nonsnib (6,000 ft mountain) from Loen, Nordfjord, Norway, looking over Lovatnet lake (aka Loen Lake). They were from Innvik, Nordfjord, Norway, which is 14 miles to the west of Loen.

The great rolling glacier Halseth, with its masses of blue ice constantly moving down the mountain side; the Steep Ravenfjeld and the Nonsnib towering 6,000 feet above you, make a wonderful picture."
