Location: |
Lake 824 moh. drains from its western end through Bjørnholet to Storjorda i Nordfjorden/Holandsfjorden. The lake was previously filled with glacier ice, and when the glacier melted and the lake grew, the glacier dammed the lake for a limited period. The glacier in the eastern part of the lake seems stagnant (2004). |
