Skews the balance further, afa I can see. :-) I'd love to see an active volcano, though. I remember I flew over Etna during a small eruption in 1991. Just half an hour before sunset, the lava flows glowed red through the smoke from the forest fires further down the cone. I realised it would be impossible to approach Etna right then, which was some consolation while leaving Sicily. Beautiful island apart from Etna too, btw.

The snow was very compact, though. It didn't come higher than to our ankles. However we did come across places where foot-sized holes just beside the track disappeared into holes of deep icy blue. To begin with I suspected the guide setup was just to milk money from tourists, but those crevices were nasty... And covered by deceiving snow bridges...

Well Norwegian landscape is toted as very dramatic, but by sheer measurment the absolute numbers are not that great. However you get to see it very up close, and there are signs of human presence (past or present) for scale. Places like New Zealand and Chile have very similar landscapes, and in grander scales, but don't have as long a history of attempts to eke a farmer's living out of the land.
