Still in Jokkmokk

Today 09/12/2019) the weather looked up a bit which improves the pictures a little. Here are some more pictures taken in the general Jokkmokk vicinity. (Click to enlarge): 

Below the tree line, a lot of Lapland looks just like this.

Traces of the last Ice Age are everywhere, here is a large rock eroded by the ice sheet as it retreated between 22,000 and about 11,000 years ago.

...another ice eroded rock. This one serving as support for the true north COULOIR 36 ski backpack. There is not going to be a place much more "true north" than this. Disclaimer: This blogger has a very personal interest in all true north products.

A lake in Skabram, Lapland.

More reindeer. Notice the size of the antlers on the one in the center of the picture. Their are 7 subspecies of reindeer. Four of them in America where they are known as Caribou and three in Eurasia. Of all those species the North European one is the one with the largest antlers and also the only species where both the male and the female have antlers.
