We steam on all day along the coast up and down
those minor fjords that notch the map, and at the
entrance or bottom or mid-part of which are
stations where we stop. We plunge deeply into the
bowels of the land at Namsen, where the fjord is
a long and winding estuary, to Namsos and other
stations, all nestled on these glacier-bed pastures
and surrounded by the pudding-shaped rocks that
prevail throughout, and form the islands,
promontories, and minor inland mountains of all this
coast from Trondhjem to the Arctic circle.
