Argentina just ripped up its pioneering glacier law. What does this mean for millions of people’s drinking water? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/apr/10/argentina-just-ripped-up-its-pioneering-glacier-law-what-does-this-mean-for-millions-of-peoples-drinking-water

Fall Break – Sognefjellsvegen

Sognefjellsvegen, the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe, happens to begin in a town called Gaupne in Luster, Norway, right in the vicinity of where we stayed for a week last autumn,

This narrow, two-lane highway (a National Tourist Route) travels inland from Lusterfjorden at the village of Skjolden, winds and climbs up towards Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway, past views of the Fanaråken glacier, and then down, down, down again, finally ending at the town of Lom. Along the way are rest areas-cum-view points worth stopping at — sometimes for the use of one of the architecturally interestingly cool, clean, modern toilets that have been built up along the National Tourist Routes in Norway.

We drove parts of Sognefjellsvegen during our stay and then drove it the entire way to Lom and beyond as we made our way back home to Oslo at the end of our stay. Here are some images taken along the way.
