Giant´s kettles from the last ice age

in #norway6 years ago

Giant's kettle that was made during the melting of the glacier after the ice age.

When the massive glacier, which lay over large parts of northern Europe, was melting away, large rivers was formed under the melting glacier.
These large rivers between the bedrock and the glacier some places in these large rivers large whirlpools were made. Larger and smaller stones crumbling around these currents will over time make such giant's kettle. These are cylindrically shaped with vertical walls. Typically, the Giant's kettle is higher than they are wide.
Along the mountainsides of the fjords in the Western part of Norway,​ there are many Giant's kettles.
The Giant's kettles on these pictures are​ from the mountainside at Fjæra in Åkrafjorden.

These are the most unique photos,
that I've ever seen.

I would even be afraid to approach them.
You never know what there ground, and if you fall all of a sudden?
I've never even heard of the Giant's kettles. )
Thank you for interesting informative information
and amazing photos.

Try to be careful in such difficult and impassable areas and places !

Take care, my friend, @Siggjo

Yes, I was careful @Singa
The first picture shows a wire that will prevent people from falling into the Giant's kettle.
You can also see that this kettle is half full of water.
