    Sognefjord in a Nutshell

    SOGNEFJORD IN A NUTSHELL 5 nights from €1295 per person sharing (plus taxes) Valid from 01 May - 30 September 2020 Start with 2 nights in Oslo and take in some great museums and galleries including the Vigeland Sculpture Park. During summer the days are long with over 18 hours of daylight available for numerous pursuits. Norway was home to some adventurous explorers including Thor Heyerdahl of Kon-Tiki fame and you can still see the original papyrus raft on display in the Kon-Tiki Museum. One of the most beautiful railway journeys in the world is that between Oslo and Bergen. Cross through lush countryside and past majestic glaciers before disembarking in the heart of the mountains at the tiny station of Myrdal. A second train, the Flåmsbanen, winds down almost sheer mountainside taking you to Flåm. The hour-long trip includes a stop at the thunderous Kjosfossen waterfall. Flåm marks the head of the longest fjord in the world, Sognefjorden. A high-speed ferry takes you along the full length of this stunning waterway, stopping at isolated picture-book villages along the way. At the village of Balestrand you disembark in time for dinner and overnight at the Kviknes Hotel, overlooking the fjord. The Kviknes is a member of De Historiske hotels of Norway. You have most of the next day free to explore Balestrand or you could take the Fjaerland Glacier tour (book locally the day before). It starts with the early 1.5-hour ferry ride taking you along the fjord to Fjaerland. A coach brings you to the fascinating Norwegian Glacier Museum and Visitor Centre.

Vik og Aurland er ein del av denne ut- greiinga, men ikkje Voss. Det har vore eit mål å gjennomføre utgreiinga for Voss, Vik og Aurland etter same mal som utgreiinga for Sogn regionråd. Dette for å få eit best mogleg samanlikningsgrunnlag. Bent Aslak Brandtzæg er utdanna geograf (Cand.polit.) frå Universitet i Bergen. Brandtzæg har vore tilsett som forskar ved Telemarksforsking sidan 1995, og er temaansvarleg for instituttets forsking knytt til interkommunalt samarbeid og kommunestruktur.

Sakshandsamar Arkiv 2018000533-3 Guri Olsen, K2 - G00 Høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune - Prosjekt prehospitale tenester - fase 1 Vedlagt følgjer høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune, kommunestyret 31.05.18. KS- vedtak sak 037/18: Gode prehospitale tenester er viktigfor at våre innbyggjarar skal kjenne seg trygge. Slik det er no, so er responstida på ambulansen i Aurland altfor dårleg. Det tek 43,7 minutt å nå 90% av innbyggjarane, og i 64% av akuttilfella nådde ikkje ambulansen fram innan 25 min. Dette er hhv. tredje dårlegast og nest dårlegast i fylket. Aurland er ein liten kommune i folketal med sine knappe 1800 innbyggjarar, men det er store mengder besøkjande og gjennomgangstrafikk her. Flåmsbana åleine har 1 million reisande pr år, me har E16 og FV50 med stor gjennomgangstrafikk, ca 150 cruiseskip i sommarhalvåret i tillegg til mange andre rute- og turistbåtar, fullbooka campingplassar og hotell, mange fotturistar og syklande i Aurlandsdalen, Flåmsdalen, Rallarvegen osv.. Me har mange tunnelar som gir ekstra utfordringar i høve tryggleik og ulukker. Bl.a. so vil ei stenging i Lærdalstunnelen kunne føre til at ambulanse frå Lærdal ikkje kjem seg til oppdrag i Aurland, og næraste ambulanse er då Voss som er 1 time unna. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å ikkje ha ambulanse stasjonert i Aurland, og i samband med "Prosjekt prehospitale tenester" krev Aurland at det vert lagt opp til ambulanse fast stasjonert i Aurland. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å erstatta ambulansetenester med akutthjelparordning. Akutthjelparordninga må ikkje organiserast slik at kostnaden vert flytta frå Helse Førde til kommunane.

    MOSKENES GUIDE 2008 T Moskenes in 1120, King Eystein Estab­ Eystein King 1120, in Control

    MOSKENES Area: 118.6 km2 Population: approx.1128 Municipal centre: Reine he island of Mosk enesøy is located in the untamed, western part of the Lofoten Is- Page lands. On the far side of the island, you will find long, chalk-white beaches. The island Tis surrounded by strong tidal currents like the Sundstraumen strait, and the infamous 28 Maelstrom. Glaciers and other forces of Nature have sculpted the island landscape, which is among the wildest and most fascinating that Norway can offer. Traces of Stone Age settlement dating back over 5,500 years can be found on the island. Several old place names, such as Moskenes, bear witness to early Sami settlement. The inhabitants of Moskenesøy live largely on the eastern side of the island, where the best harbour conditions are to be found. Earlier, there was also settlement along the entire northern coast of the island – the so-called outer coast, but owing to poor harbour conditions and perilous waters, all of them have now been abandoned. Å, Hamnøy and Sakrisøy are particularly well-known for their old, well-preserved architectural environment. The Lofoten Fishery, the Fishing Village and the Rorbu Cabin Abundant Resources in the North When the great glaciers receded from our northern coastlines, the cod began its annual migra- tion from the Barents Sea to spawn in the waters of Lofoten. Every winter for over 10,000 years, the coastal people have caught the tasty Norwegian Arctic cod, eating the fresh fish together with the liver and roes, or producing stockfish and cod liver oil - used for bartering and trading purposes.

Anbefalt løsningsvalg er en ny 420 kV luftledning. Økt utbygging av ny fornybar kraftproduksjon nord for Sognefjorden og de nye mellomlandsforbindelsene til Storbritannia og Tyskland vil øke flaskehalsen på dagens forbindelse. Vi forventer at dette vil gi større prisforskjeller nord og sør for fjorden og økt antall timer med nullpris og vanntap i våte år. Det er også behov for reinvesteringer på forbindelsen de neste tiår. Lønnsomheten av tiltaket er avhengig av fremtidig kraftpris og mengde ny vannkraft nord for Sognefjorden. Det er en begrenset flaskehals over Sognefjorden i dag Perioder med mye nedbør gir et stort kraftoverskudd i området nord for Sognefjorden, hovedsakelig mellom Ørskog stasjon i nord og Sogndal stasjon i sør. Kraften flyter oftest sørover fra Sogn og Fjordane, over Sognefjorden og videre henholdsvis vestover mot BKK-området og østover gjennom Hallingdal mot Østlandet. Det er i hovedsak variasjoner i tilsiget som styrer størrelsen på flyten, der våte perioder gir høyere flyt. I slike perioder kan de to 300 kV-ledningene Aurland-Sogndal og Hove-Sogndal som inngår i snittet over Sognefjorden være en flaskehals.

    Discovery of Highly Radioactive Granite in the Bergen Region

    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Vol 96 Nr. 4 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.17850/njg96-4-03 Discovery of highly radioactive granite in the Bergen Region Christophe Pascal1,2 & Therese Rudlang3 1NGU, Geological Survey of Norway, Post Box 6315 Sluppen, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Geophysics, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. 3NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail corresponding author (Christophe Pascal): [email protected] We report the discovery of the most radioactive granite ever found in Norway, namely the Løvstakken granite, located ~5 km southwest of Bergen. A preliminary gamma-spectrometry survey carried out in the Bergen Region, in autumn 2009, showed that the Løvstakken granite contained unusually high amounts of uranium and thorium. This finding was later confirmed by a more complete regional survey during the summer of 2010. We visited 281 sites and made 502 radiometric measurements in the Bergen Region and adjacent areas. Based on 87 measurements on the Løvstakken granite, we found that it contains ~18 ppm U, ~58 ppm Th and ~6% K on average (median values). Natural radioactivity is not harmful by itself, but the high uranium levels of the Løvstakken granite (i.e., up to ~69 ppm) cause concern in terms of radon hazard. In addition, geothermal gradients in the continental crust are strongly dependent on the amount of radioactive (i.e., heat-producing) elements it hosts. Our study indicates that the Løvstakken granite produces ~8 mW/m3 of heat. Such high heat-generation values may result in anomalously high temperatures in the subsurface of the Bergen Region, that in turn may render the use of geothermal energy economically interesting.
