For the last meter to the Marmorslottet/glacial river you have to crawl through a hole under the rock. Please only walk on the marble barefoot!

HISTORY: The area around Meløy has been completely or partially covered by glaciers several times. Around 20,000 years ago, the inland ice was at its greatest extent during the last ice age. In contrast, the glacier was completely ice-free 8,000 and 6,000 years ago. It was only as a result of large amounts of precipitation and a colder climate that the glacier began to grow again 2,500 years ago. In 1750, the glacier tongue was around two kilometers closer to the fjord than it is today. This can be attributed to the visible moraine ridge left by the glacier north and west of Engenbrevatn. The Østertal ice split into two glacier arms around 100 years ago. The eastern one reached as far as the Svartisen glacier lake. Over the next 50 years, the glacier retreated considerably and no longer reached the lake. In 1910 the glacier front was only 50 metres from the glacier lake, but by 1945 it was already 1000 metres away. As the glacier retreated, another glacier lake was formed on the western edge of the glacier arm. As the ice continued to retreat, the lake grew larger from year to year.

The DAGMAR AAEN was built in 1931 in Esbjerg, Denmark, at the N. P. Jensen shipyard as a fishing vessel and was given the registration number E510. The ship was named Dagmar Aaen after the wife of the first owner, Mouritz Aaen, an entrepreneur from Esbjerg. The hull was built from six-centimeter oak planks on oak frames. The distance between the individual frames is so small that a fist can hardly fit between them. The hull was given an exceptional and remarkable strength by additional internal planking and watertight bulkheads. This type of ship was often used in Greenland due to its solid construction.

The Svartisen ("black ice") is the second largest glacier in Norway at 370 square kilometers and is located in Nordland Fylke, just below the Arctic Circle, in the impressive Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park northwest of the town of Mo i Rana. It has a total of 60 glacier arms. The Glomtal lies between the two main glaciers, the East (Østertaleis) and the West Ice. The Svartisen extends almost all the way down into the Holandsfjord, making it the glacier closest to sea level in Europe.
