Småsøte, (Gentianella tenella)  
As I said, watch out for the flowers!!




Just around the next wall of stones, and we would have been there at the end of the glacier.
Signs told us, however, that we were leaving the safe path, and might go on further only at our own risk.
As this was the beginning of our trip, we turned back from here.



But still we were close enough to have some good pictures of the glacier!



More flowers, and a visitor on this one....
  


On our way back, the fiord was absolute calm, and as the temperature in the sea was at least 10 ° C,

And way back there, you can see the tops of the Kvænangstindan



A last look before we leave, and go on further north.
