Beginning of the field work in northern Norway close to the highest Finnish mountain Ráisduattarháldi. Back in the clouds.

Guolasjavri lake close to which we read out a permafrost borehole logger.

Patterned ground with cobbles and boulders.

Holding tight to a fishing rod.

Leaving us on the top of the Gamajunni Mountain that is flat.

This part of the mountain which is moving downslope is the reason for doing field work here.

Bernd is happy with the caught logger data.

Reading out another one during a shower.
