Dagmar Aaen at Svartisen Glacier
Highlight • Structure
The ship was named Dagmar Aaen after the wife of the first owner, Mouritz Aaen, an entrepreneur from Esbjerg.
The hull was built from six-centimeter oak planks on oak frames. The distance between the individual frames is so small that a fist can hardly fit between them.
The hull was given an exceptional and remarkable strength by additional internal planking and watertight bulkheads. This type of ship was often used in Greenland due to its solid construction.

Svartisen Glacier
Highlight • Natural Monument
First we took the Isprins ferry across the Hollandsfjord. From the pier to the “Engabreen” tongue of the second largest Norwegian glacier, Svartisen, it's a relaxed 90 minutes. The panorama is breathtaking throughout. There are a few insurance policies on the mountain itself. Surefootedness and good footwear are essential.
