The Plateau. Pictures From the Hardangervidda

Hardangervidda is Northern Europe’s largest high mountain plateau, covering 8 000 square kilometers. If you stand in the middle of the plateau, the view is almost infinite in all directions. You will see rivers, large lakes and weathered mountains.

From 2015 to 2024 Eirik Brekke has been a regular visitor to Hardangervidda to see who uses the plateau today. After many of the photos were taken, restrictions have been introduced on human traffic on parts of the Hardangervidda. This is to protect the wild reindeer herd that has been on the plateau since the last ice age.
