The Terrain


 

The hills are barren, except for a few tiny flowers that grow in the cracks of the endless expanse of rock.
     

Distance loses all perspective. A hill that appears to be just a few kilometers away can actually be 30 Km distant. There is no sound, except for the wind, and virtually no sign of life

This is the season of endless daylight, when the midnight sun burns 24 hours a day. Visitors to the area may feel somewhat disoriented at first, but are soon enraptured by its breathtaking beauty.
