Ålfotbreen
The Ålfotbreen glacier is located in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The 17-square-kilometre (6.6 sq mi) glacier is located on the border of three municipalities in the Nordfjord region: Bremanger, Flora, and Gloppen. It is located west of the village of Hyen, south of the village of Ålfoten, and east of the village of Svelgen.
The glacier reaches an elevation of 1,385 metres (4,544 ft) at its highest point. The area surrounding the glacier, closer to the Nordfjorden, is one of the wettest places in Norway, getting an average of 5,600 millimetres (220 in) of rainfall each year. The heavy precipitation keeps the glacier very healthy with an average thickness of 8 to 10 metres (26 to 33 ft).
On 9 January 2009, the 226-square-kilometre (87 sq mi) area surrounding the glacier, the glacier itself, and the nearby Gjegnalundsbreen glacier, were preserved as a landscape protection area by the Norwegian government.

LOVE TO BURN
by: Neil YoungLate one night I was walking
in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said:
You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta crawl to be tall
And then she me told something,
something that
I'll never forget.
You got love to burn.
You better
take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
In the valley of hearts there's
a house full of broken windows
And the lovers inside just
quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life?
Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying:
How did it come to this?
You got love to burn.
You better take your chance
on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
