Haakon VII (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈhôːkʊn]; born Prince Carl of Denmark; 3 August 1872 – 21 September 1957) was King of Norway from November 1905 until his death in September 1957. Originally a Danish prince, he was born in Copenhagen as the son of the future Frederick VIII of Denmark and Louise of Sweden .
It is unclear, however, if they "only" reached the crater rim or if they set foot on Haakon VII toppen, the highest tip along the crater rim. Ever since, Beerenberg has been climbed only 18 times by people from the nearby meteo station (all of them have been Norwegians so far).

On Haakon VII Toppen Beerenberg for a long time was thought to be extinct, until it rumbled back to life in 1970 and 1984/85. Now it lies quietly to our feet. Not even fumaroles can be made out in the crater abyss. It is 1:30 a.m., and the sun is deep.
