Flybekken in Norway - a photo on Flickriver

Fly = fly and bekken = pelvic, but I'm not sure "fly pelvic" is the correct translation for the name of this river.

This was our campsite on our second night in Norway, on highway 51 north of Beitostølen.

This HDR photo was taken looking east towards a fantastic collection of peaks and glaciers which you can't see here but include Tjønnholstinden at 2,331 metres and Knutsholstinden and 2,341 metres with about 30 surveyed glaciers between here and lake Bygdin.

The mountains in the middle ground sloping up to the upper left lie between the Leirunsdalen and Steindalen valleys, the former of which is fed by several glaciers that also run into the creek in the foreground of the photo, Flybekken.

Sunrise is peeking through the valley across the road behind us across lake Øvre Heimdalsvatnet.

You can explore the mountains in this area in Google Earth by searching for the coordinates:
