The Norwegian Environment Agency is concerned about phosphorus in the mountain Lake Gjende

1 Aug 2021
Gjende, Jotunheimen, Norway
There are high levels of phosphorus in Gjende, which is located 984 meters above sea level, at the foot of the country's most popular mountain ridge, Besseggen. Phosphorus from the deposition of mud from melting glaciers affect the plankton in the lake. Scientist note that in the stomachs of the thin fish there is little zooplankton.
