http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/scandinavia/xnorway.html http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/scandinavia/xnorway.html Deforestation was happening in the 1600s and 1700s and required the stopping of many saw mills. I just say this because humanity really did horrible environmental things throughout our history. For example the ceders of Lebanon being completly cut down by 800 BC and the deforestation of Israel during the crusades which never came back.

That's all very true, but for that particular picture, the lack of vegetation is because the area was covered by ice only a few years before. Note the lack of soil in the older photo. There's only rocks and silt.
