Narrative

It is a small lake in the snow belt in the north of the Stornes Peninsula. The ice and snow are melted in summer and the water flows into this place and forms a lake. There is ice and snow which persist throughout the year around it. The top of the lake looks like a weaving shuttle of the fairy maidens, which fills precisely into the white dreamy heaven.It was named when aerial photos surveying and mapping in 1991.
