EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of leisure and adventure on the Hardanger Glacier in Norway. The image showcases skiers gracefully gliding down the snow-covered slopes, against a backdrop of majestic mountains and valleys. It is a testament to the enduring allure of winter sports and the beauty of nature. The photograph was taken by an anonymous Norwegian photographer from that era, whose work now resides in a private collection. This particular postcard version dates back to the early 20th century, serving as both a memento and an invitation for others to experience this exhilarating activity. The Hardanger Glacier is renowned for its stunning scenery and challenging terrain, making it an ideal destination for skiing enthusiasts. The Bergen-Christiania Railway played a significant role in facilitating access to this remote location, allowing more people to indulge in this thrilling sport. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how skiing has evolved over time but remains deeply rooted in our enjoyment of wintertime activities. From scientific methods used by meteorologists to predict weather conditions on these snowy peaks to advancements in ski technology itself, skiing continues to be both a pleasure and an exciting sport enjoyed by many across Europe. This postcard serves as a window into another era – one filled with excitement, exploration, and appreciation for nature's wonders. It invites us not only to witness but also participate in the joyous tradition of skiing on the Hardanger Glacier.
