Note to mineralist:

Garmo (1974) reports minerals found during construction of a tunnel along RV 15 at Geirangerfjellet. However RV 15 does not go over Geirangerfjellet, but Strynefjellet. The road Rv 32 that goes over Geirangerfjellet has (status 2019) also no tunnels. See entry Strynefjellet for more info.
