A tongue, a rock
A tongue like rock jutting horizontally out of a mountain.
It is a piece of rock jutting horizontally out of a mountain about 700 metres (2,300 ft) above the north side of the lake in Norway.
The cliff is part of the precambrian bedrock and was formed during the ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago, when the edges of the glacier reached the cliff. The water from the glacier froze in the crevices of the mountain and eventually broke off large, angular blocks, which were later carried away with the glacier. Along the cliff itself, a gneiss, there continues to be deep cracks. The trail to this rock also passes through the bedrock and washed slippery hillsides in the background also containing gneiss.
It is available for hikers from approximately mid-June to mid-September.
A U.S. internet magazine listed this place as number one in the world where an impressive selfie can be taken.
No safety railing has been constructed on the edge of the cliff so as not to harm the natural beauty of the cliff. Despite the insecure gorge, there have been no recorded fatalities at the site (2013).
Along the fjord there is a mild and humid coastal climate.
