I'd rather carry ice-cream than metal coins.

Saana, the great fell of Kilpisjärvi.

Meanwhile in Sweden.

That indeed is a path. One of the rocks turned out to be the hut.

See anything alive?

Try drinking ice-cold water and smile.

Beautiful Sandwort, Minuartia rubella.

Thigh-deep and water underneath.

Annjalonji beginning to show.

Just conquered the world?

That's Halti behind Meekonpahta, although we did not know it yet.

Cliffs >100 m tall and the green valley with trees. Scale is hopelessly lost in the pic, but so it was on the scene as well.

Look closely and you'll see a tiny hill. Anywhere else it would be Tall and Important.

That guy is bound to fall soon.

The dishes and the dish-washer drying in the wind.

Pihtsusjärvi with ice.

Ice with Pihtsusjärvi.

Over a metre thick.

Pikku-Halti (the Little Halti) is not tiny either.

Tiiti finds out that the terrain is replicated on the map. Warm day--only two woollen pullovers.

Rocks that killed the knee.

Feeling like an elf, walking on the snow surface.

Front: the new hut like a hotel, behind: older little hut.

What a pity that this was not visible in the toilet window.

Red rocks on Halti (high pH), grey everywhere else.

That's where we came from.

The summit.

Norwegian art.

The topmost glacier buttercup ready to blossom.

Glacier buttercup 100 m lower.

Ranunculus glacialis.

Tiiti rocks.

Only a snow buttercup.

Morning peace in Pihtsusköngäs, with someone's sleeping bag drying in the sun.

Pihtsusköngäs...

...and a rainbow.

This bridge had been marked as dangerous the following day.

Tiiti does the X.

Rail on the wall.

White arctic mountain heather. Doesn't that name sound a bit artificial?

We scared the reindeer.

Afterwards Tiiti collapsed in the hut.

Timo would not mind to have this in the kitchen window.

Rough-legged buzzard.

The labyrinth of lakes as seen from Saivaara.

Meekonvaara and Meekonpahta. The hut is somewhere in the valley...

This is an easy path.

This is neither easy nor a path.

Reminds me of the former president Kekkonen.

Some nice summer rain, horizon not visible.

Moss campion.

Well there's our hut, but if you look closer...

The greatest hike hairstyle ever, after six days.

One side combed, the other one waiting. Ice-cold water tied to the knee.

New one ready to go.

The hiker sees Saana with the cliff on the left.

Welcome.

Lemming died on the path.

Saana as seen from the civilised world.

Sweden.

Fir trees, 20 m x 20 m, clearly planted.

We now know why Tiiti looked at this for an hour.

Willow grouse.

Been there. Finland is quite flat after all.

Guestbook of Saana.

Norway is steep.

Good coverage in the wilderness.

Table mountain in Norway?

Pikku-Malla (Little Malla) is tiny indeed.

Lapland rosebay, rhododendron lapponicus. Size 5 cm.

Saana and the birches.
