It is deeper than might at first be expected,
that is, more is now lying on the Dovrefjeld than
actually stands upon existing ordinary glaciers.
But this great table-land sneefond was not an
ordinary glacier; the outward slope is so moderate
that its ice must have been piled up to an immense
height before it could gravitate or be squeezed
away radially to overflow the outlet valleys.

But to return to my diary. We were at
Dombaas when I got upon the glaciers again; had just
been doing our very best to satisfy our good
hostess that the boulders of veal and venison, the
pancakes, cream, and preserved fruits were
acceptable and appreciated. After this we branched
off from the main road between the ancient and
modern capitals of Norway, and turned westwards
towards the Romsdal, driving over a dull fjeld
road to Holoker, where we found good quarters
and rested for the night.
