Drivandefossen (Krekafossen) is a 50m waterfall on the Åsetelvi in the valley Mørkrisdalen, which I reached on a sweaty, uphill 2km hike near Skjolden, Norway.

Boyabreen (Bøyabreen) Waterfalls are waterfalls that I spotted below and around the Bøyabreen Glacier (one of the easiest glaciers to see) in Fjærland, Norway.

Ristafallet is a 14m tall 50m wide on the Indals River near Åre, Sweden. I think it might have greater width because there’s a second harder-to-see segment.
