We are in the Gaustatoppen region. Might it be a bear?
If so, should we not go any further?

  6. You are at least 150km from the closest bear https://rovdata.no/Brunbj%C3%B8rn/Bestandsstatus.aspx 
    That looks like a footprint that has been snowed over. 
    The shape comes from the snow melting and freezing which gives a ice layer on top. 
    If you did see a bear you should consider yourself lucky as there is less than 200 known bears in all of Norway. 

  9. Person. (Tracks tend to ‘grow’ in snow over time).

    If it was a bear, it’d be fairly sensational, being so far from bear-lands and so early out of hibernation.

  10. Looks like a tusseladd or some other forest troll to me, but hard to be sure with those variants.

  22. It’s a tusseladd, a troll that is very hard to spot! Where did you see these? I will inform Naturvernforbundet immediately!

  24. That’s probably the footsteps of Frostgubben. Lives up on Gaustatoppen. Big old snow-covered bastard with a beard like windblown icicles and eyes like frozen fjords.

    He’s famously known for freezing the boots off lost hikers who don’t show respect to the mountain. Swear to God, if you whistle after dark up there, he hears it. Thinks you’re mocking him. Next thing you know, your compass spins, your thermos shatters, and you wake up face-down in the snow with frostbite in places you didn’t know could freeze.

    There’s this one guy, Erling, from Rjukan. He laughed off the stories. Went up alone one winter, said he’d piss on the peak just to spite the old troll. Never made it back. They found his camera weeks later, lens frosted over and one photo burned into the card: just a blur of white and two glowing eyes in the dark.

    So yeah. If you’re heading up Gaustatoppen… don’t whistle. Don’t brag. And for the love of all things. Don’t piss in the wind.

  27. It’s wolwerin are only that animalas having so bigg phodes

  28. “Should we go any further?”

    Well we don’t know your intentions so it’s hard to say. Do you like the idea of being a meal then maybe go find out.

    However if you are an unhealthy snack and feed yourself to wild animals there a high legal penalty and your inheritance goes to the bear. Also take off any clothes/packaging as they don’t have thumbs to unzip you.

  31. A tourist walking in normal snow with glacier spikes. We see them fairly often in my area. Snow melt makes them seem larger.

  33. Looks like huldra might be going out early!! Look out for beautiful women whit cow tails!

  34. Your mom? (Had to add a question mark to seem more humble)

  36. This is from bigfoots lesser known cousin figboot from the plantar fasciitis family usually accompanied by a shit heel so check the surrounding area for an ankylosing spondylitis they tend to be rheumatic this time of year and sometimes very aggressive so avoid being inflammatory. If he seems excessively osteoporotic lack of sunlight is gonna make him brittle so loud noises is enough to rattle his bones, so singing any Pantera song loudly will do.
