But we sought the nearest inn, and shutting out the sunlight to the best of our ability with the curtains, re- tired and slept soundly till ten o'clock ; then having partaken of a good breakfast we started on a six mile walk up the grand Naerodal, a valley bounded by mountains. A smooth, well- made road passes through the valley ; on either side the roar of waterfalls greeted us as they fell hundreds of feet and dashed their spray against the rocks, and as we advanced the Jor- dalsnut, nearly f...our thousand feet high, an im- mense cone of light-gray feldspar, its sides and summit as smooth as if trimmed off with a knife, projected into the valley. The effect is strange in the extreme as one views this great cone from base to summit, standing far out from the 224 Midnight Sunbeams. other mountains, like a gigantic monument set down in the valley. At the base of the abrupt precipices forming the sides of the Naerodal, are great masses of rock brought down by avalanches and land- slides. The valley ends in a precipitous cliff, a thousand feet high, called the Stalheimsklev, on one side of which is the Sevlefos, on the other the Stalheimsfos, two fine waterfalls, car- rying on a continual and thundering rivalry.
