Abstract: In Norway there are more than 900 water reservoirs for water power production, with all but a very few exceptions established by damming of natural lakes, which normally have an ice-cover in the winter season. Although the use of the ice cover for transport has changed somewhat, “safe” ice is still important for providing safe travelling routes for domestic and leisure traffic. The water power development has often influenced the ice conditions in a way so that the ice on new areas are no longer safe for travel. Such weakened areas are being digitalized and are now made available on internet in a mapsystem termed “NVE-Atlas”.
