Itinerary description
Another day with dozens of rivers. We again walked over the gletsjer to bypass them. NOT recommendable at all. But we were sort of trapped between rivers and there was no way out of it other then going over the gletsjer again. Pure adrenaline pushed us forward.
However, the landscape is the most beautiful you can imagine.

Do you know if it's at all possible to cross the Pjorsa river from where you were? Is it a delta like in the map, or a huge river that you can't ford?
No, I don’t think so. It’s a wild river. The only way to cross it is via the bridge at the power station where we crossed it.
You tryed to pass the river too close to the glacier. If you would have walked downstream there are places where the river splits to 3 or 4 strems/lines and is therfor much safer to cross. Never safe but safer.
