Geography
Dansketinden rises 15 km east of the shore of the Alpefjord —a branch of the Segelsällskapet Fjord, between the heads of Viking Glacier (Vikingebrae), Gully Glacier and Bersaerkerbrae glaciers.[3] Although according to most available sources this mountain is a 2,842-metre-high (9,324 ft)[3] or 2,831-metre-high (9,288 ft) ultra-prominent peak.[4] it appears as a 2,788-metre-high (9,147 ft) peak in Google Earth.[1]
Climbing history
Dansketinden was first climbed by Swiss mountaineers John Haller (1927–1984), Wolfgang Diehl (1908–1990) and Fritz Schwarzenbach on 5 August 1954.[2] The second ascent was made by a 1964 expedition led by Guido Monzino.[3]
gollark: Er, it is copied in along with the rest of the `os` table.
gollark: Do I need to just throw out all the code or something?
gollark: I don't know why, but for some reason `load(stuff, stuff, environment table)` does not appear to do anything to `os.run`, which sticks to the environment of outside the sandbox as its default.
gollark: Invent a new piece of jargon and write a blog post on it.
gollark: Anyway, how am I meant to:- have the sandbox not muck with the environment of stuff running outside- have the sandbox *not* end up broken horribly by `os.run`, `load(string/file)` and `dofile` and anything else using FS stuff internally or whatever?
