| | Norway - The Romsdalshorn Crowning The Mountain Wall Above Rauma River |
 | | The first successful attempt was that of two Norwegians, Kristen Smed and Hans Bjaemeland, in 1832; for several years the story of their adventure and two days' stay near the summit was generally doubted, but a later ascent proved its truth, by the discovery of certain records of their presence made at that time. |
 | | Slingsby's Norway, the Mountain Play-ground, tells all about it, and gives an interesting ac-count of how the author himself made the difficult ascent in 1884. |
 | | The lovely green valley has still older associations than those relating to the boyhood of Norway's favorite poet, for here, they say, ten and eleven centuries ago, lived some of the rich Norsemen who entailed their property and sent the younger sons away to seek fortunes overseas. |
