Thank you. One tends to take the harsh unforgiving nature and overwhelming beauty of the islands for granted when one lives there. And it is nice to be reminded sometimes.
I have only been to Norway once, about 13 years ago, but I can remember that when I saw the mountains, and the trees that were growing up along the mountain, I hoped that one day I would be able to go hiking there.
And I still feel the same today, it would be fun to actually be able to (to be continued)

use a compass and a map to get from A. to B.
Up here I only need a map, because the islands are so small, you have to try really hard to get lost, and when it's foggy... you can't really use the map or compass.. because you can't see anything

The thing the frenchman says about all the islands have always been inhabited is not entirely correct. One of the islands has, as far as I know, never had a settlement.
And today it's the same.. 17 of the 18 islands are inhabitated

the Franks were always a minority, mostly warriors and rulers. The French are a Latin people with Gaelic roots.
