A Geological Gem in Åselistraumen
To visit Åselistraumen just 7 min drive from Saltstraumen is a chance to explore and learn how a glacier moves. Here just of the road 17 you can clearly see signs and remains after a glacier from the last Ice Age. By using your Smart Phone and a QR reader you can follow a geological walk and learn more. Pictures and information from the University in Nordland guides you thorough its history.
