... the swedish norwegian frontier is a stunning and fantastic landscape. This mountain back is already 420 million years old, a long time compared to our short lifetime, but nothing in relation to the age of this little planet ...
It is the result of a very slow collision between the tectonic plates of North America and Scandinavia. The tectonic plates of North America pushed over of the Scandinavian plate.
-38 C , its very tough to survive here, and hard to trigger the camera without gloves.
Under the gigantic load the plates broke again, drifted apart and the atlantic ocean pushed in between.
Time seems to stand still, no noise is breaking the silent ...
and an old dog is looking into the infinity.
10,000 years ago the first animals and plants moved in and it begun a slow conquer of this vigin landscape ...
In 1909 declared Sweden as the first country in Europe nine areas as national parks.
Sweden has today 29 national parks.
There are about 3200 nature reserves, covering an area of 26,000 km ².
The entire protected area, including all Swedish national parks covers 54.000km ²
12% of the entire country - that´s a proud number.
and an extraordinary place for extraordinary activities ...
Everything happened after the end of the 60,000 years of ice age
The ice carved with primitive and elemental violence the large valleys and canyons
unstoppable and without mercy ... a new world becomes alive
and still attracts everyone in its spell
A worth protecting habitat with a rough appearance ...
and yet so fragile and sensitive
The most pictures are made during the last 12 month.
So the mountain are still in a fantastic shape ...
A place where a man
can still be a man ;-)
A place for ice road truckers, gold miners, moonshiners, mountain cowboys, bush pilots
and ice hole drillers !
The american slogan "Tougher in Alaska" be be well adapted to "Tougher in Gällivare"
:-)
