Kongsfjord

Up the west coast, in the Forlandsund, is the long island of Prins Karls Forland with its jagged glacier-covered peaks (Monacofjell, 1,084m/3,557ft). Beyond the northern tip of the island the Kongsfjord is seen on the right, with the pyramidal peaks known as the Tre Kroner (Three Crowns, 1,225m/4,020ft) rising above a 14km/9mi-wide glacier.
