Fjord + Summit: Lofoten, Norway. On Foot.
How does one distill an experience of overwhelming beauty, perpetual daylight and vast movement over wild terrain? Days and nights spent alone with towering mountains, broad beaches and driving winds. What do you share when the experience feels too potent to be dissected?
Yet as a photographer working in the great landscapes of earth, this becomes the job. First, to experience, then to make available a concentrate to be shared with others. To put the sublime down on paper and up on a wall, hoping some of the spark is retained.
On Scott Rinckenberger's recent traverse in Lofoten, Norway, he selected a route that would begin in the town of Sorvagen, and would link trails and mountaineering routes in order to create a continuous human-powered thru-hike that covered the majority of the length of the West Lofoten. This was primarily a rugged hiking route, intermixed with some off-trail mountain travel, beautiful summit visits, white sand beaches and a bit of road walking. In the end it became a 100km, 62mi route which covered just over 17,700’ of elevation and was walked over the course of 6 days.
