Photographer’s Note
Gjende is a lake in the Jotunheimen mountains in Norway's Jotunheimen National Park. The proglacial lake shows typical characteristics of glacial formation, being long and narrow—in length 18 km and in breadth 1.5 km at the broadest point with steep walls. Gjende has a characteristic light-green color resulting from the large quantity of rock flour which is discharged into the Gjende by the Muru river.
On the north side lies Memurubu, where this picture is taken just before the boat lands here.
What really surprised med was the saturated color of the water. I had seen pictures from here, but it really HAS this turquoise color!
