106. —Another view upon the glacier. These two photographs were 
taken upon the glacier, taking the camera on to the glacier, by 
cutting steps some way up the ice slope. 
107. —Naero Fjord. We went by steamer from Laerdalsoren to the 
Naero Fjord, which winds between lofty, precipitous rocks for 
eight miles in length, and presents a beautiful variety of scenery. 
The Naero Fjord, and the Naerodal beyond it, are two of the 
special attractions in Norwegian scenery. 
108. —The landing at Gudvangen, at the head of the Naero Fjord. 
109. —View in the Naerodal. 
110. —Another view in the valley. 
111. —Jordalsnut, a remarkable mountainous rock, 8,600ft. high, that 
stands isolated in the middle of the valley. 
112. —View from the head of the valley, showing Jordalsnut standing 
up in the centre. 
118.—View from Stalheim Hotel, which stands at the head of the 
valley, and commands a very striking and unique view of a great 
portion of the valley, which is eight miles total length. Stal- 
heim Hotel is reached by a very steep, zigzag road, that rises 800ft. 
up a steep rock forming the head of the valley. It is a large, 
commodious hotel that is a favourite place for staying at. 
114. —View of the side of Stalheim Hotel. 
115. —Stalheim Fos Waterfall at the head of the valley. 
116. —Matro Fos Waterfall on the road to Eide. 
117. —Svinde Fos, another waterfall on the road. 
118. —Loenhorgen, a mountain 4,500ft. in height, passed on the road. 
119. —Bridge at Voss. 
120. —Skjeiven Fos, a remarkable waterfall over the centre of a large 
semicircular amphitheatre of rocks, forming a grand scene. The 
road crosses by a bridge above the waterfall, and finds its way to 
the bottom by a long series of remarkable zigzags, that double 
back upon themselves in a bewildering way. 
121. —View of the waterfall from the foot of the upper fall. 
122. —View of the lower and upper falls. 
123. —Eide, with a sight of Eide Fjord beyond. Eide is charmingly 
situated at the head of one of the branches of the great Har- 
danger Fjord, which extends to a total distance of eighty miles 
from the sea. 
124. —View of Eide, from the steamer. It is a very pleasant and con¬ 
venient place to stay at for excursions. 
124a.— Yik in Eidfjord. 
125. — Salmon trap near Vik, made of rough stone dams, wide apart 
at the lower end and terminating in the rat-trap entrance of a 
large circular iron cage, out of which there is no escape, and the 
fisherman takes the fish out at his leisure, and his prey is secured. 
In another kind of trap that we saw, large white-painted boards 
are placed at the bottom of the water, and when the fish pass 
over they are seen by a man stationed on a high scaffolding at 
the edge of the water, and he has ropes attached to nets, which 
are then drawn up behind the fish, and the fish are secured. 
126. —Voerings Fos Waterfall ; this is one of the most celebrated of 
the Norwegian waterfalls, and is seen by a day’s excursion from 
Eide. 
127. —View at the foot of the waterfall; the height of the fall is 
500ft. From Eide we went to Odde, at the head of another 
branch of the Hardauger Fjord, for the purpose of seeing the Buar 
Brae Glacier, and the Gorsvingane Pass, with the fine water¬ 
falls on the road.
