Cruising into Oslo you will see many small islands in the Steilene group such as this one in the Oslofjord. The small cottage is used for art courses and other cultural activities. Can you imagine how cold it would be in the winter on this windswept isle? Earl, an American currently living in Oslo, sent me a photo of the cottage in winter after seeing this picture. Click here for a close up view of this small island and cottage in December.

The hills surrounding Oslo are much like the one in this photo. If you are looking for high mountains and deeply cragged fjords, you will need to travel to western Norway near Bergen.
