Muru (Lom)
Muru is a river in Lom Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 13.1-kilometre (8.1 mi) long river runs through the Memurudalen valley in the Jotunheimen mountains. It originates on the mountain Memurutinden at the glacier Austre Memurubrean, runs through Memurudalen valley , and finally empties into the lake Gjende besides Memurubu. The river is the primary source for the lake.[1]
A unique aspect lake Gjende is its distinctive green color, a result of glacial runoff containing clay (rock flour). Looking down towards Memurubu one can even see the river Muru coloring the water.
