A thin line between good and evil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Philosophic thoughts and a lot of fun. Norway, Lyngen Alps<\/a>. February 13, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the ice carry me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carefully I set my foot on the ice. Mid of February far up in the North at 69.71259, 19.91613<\/a>, at an aerial distance of 37 km from Troms\u00f8 the ice of the frozen J\u00e6gervatnet (see Wikipedia article in Norwegian)<\/a> should be safe. Indeed the ice thickness is about 30 cm – maybe more, so there should be no problem at all! Nevertheless be careful and do not walk too far off the shore, and do not put off your snowshoes – they minimize pressure … you never know – I am a coward. But perhaps it\u2019s better this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bright and brilliant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only two days ago I nearly was lost in a complete whiteout<\/a>, but today\u2019s weather is fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong and stormy gusts of wind howl over the frozen lake, beautiful vortexes of shining ice cristals whip across the vastness of the landscape like small tornados – why do they always hit me<\/em>? Nevermind – have you ever been in the middle of an ice tornado? In the middle of a lake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lying on the ice face up watching the moon in the deep blue sky over the Lyngen Alps<\/a> I close my eyes. What a feeling – I am lying on a thin layer of ice in the middle of a frozen lake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ice safely separates me from the deep and dark abyss of J\u00e6gervatnet – I wonder how it would look like under the ice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark and scary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I remember the famous Finnish freediver Johanna Nordblad<\/a> and her fantastic video on NOWNESS<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
