The Arctic Circle.
Of course we had to stop and look arounf a little bit. I have passed by
there so many times that I never thinks much of it.
|
 |
On the
lonely road between the villages of Övre Soppero and Nedre Soppero.
Pretty much in the middle of nowhere... |
On
the Finnish side of the border. Oskars first visit to this neighbour country.
Here we are real close to our goal: Kilpisjärvi.
|
 |
After
parking the car at the parking lot, we inspected the map over the area.
In the summer time there is a boat that makes trips over the lake, but
this late in the fall it had stopped going for the season.
|
 |
 |
So, instead
of taking the boat and saving 8 kilometers (5 miles) in each direction we
had to walk. In each direction it was 11 km (7 miles). |
 |
Sofar it is still
quite light. Later on it got real dark, making it hard to see where to
put your feet.

Oskar
trying not to get his feet wet.

 |
A waterfall
on our way. |
Here
we are a bit high. Real high mountain like.
|
 |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
By now
it had started to get dark. |
Finally we are at
the Three Border Junction. Not much to see. The monoument was quite ugly
actually. But hey, now we have been there.
