(Norway) Route in June 2014; 3 km; +180 -180; 1.5 hours. Excursion organized by Lands Polares with the following itinerary: Ski resort, glacier Folgefonna and return. Output type: circular; Difficulty: easy.

The large fleet he built allowed him to maintain important friendships with the Pope and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, as well as with the king of Ireland.
