2038 FS Snarøya

Snarøya We are now shoreside the peninsula of Snarøya. Most of the houses you can see here are residents. Its close to the fjord and to the city center and is considered a desirable and fashionable residential area. Back in the day when the Oslo Fjord used to freeze over regularly in wintertime, people would use Snarøya as the quickest route by which to reach the Western part of the fjord, either by foot, skates, or ski. Today, the main part of the fjord is kept open in winter by big ships and icebreakers, but during cold winters the water still freezes over along the shore and between the islands. In 2020 you could ice-skate between Snarøya to Sandvika.
