betjemausKolme Valtakunnan Rajapykki/Treriksröset/Treriksrøysa/Golme Riikka Urna or just The Three Country Cairn, the spot where Finland, Sweden and Norway shake hands. Well, the first picture is 'a' country cairn, the second picture is THE three country cairn. But I liked the sky in the first picture better, so... :) These cairns are located in Malla Strict Nature Reserve, most easily accessible from Kilpisjärvi in Finland. As the title of the park suggest, it's a very special area with rare species of plants and therefore protected. Every Mans Right, the right to roam is not applicable here. However, according to regulations on the basis of cultural protection, the indigenous Sami people should have access to the land for the practice of reindeerhusbandry. Two worlds collide. My Malla-story: I don't want to brag (I do, actually :P) but I think I saw a wolf here once. On my way back down, where the treeline starts, I sat down on the path, to drink my last bit of water. I heard some footsteps down below off the trail, which was weird, because you are not supposed to stray from the path. And the steps sounded too coordinated for reindeer. I waited it out quietly and then a big dog appeared. My heart jumped, but luckily the dog didnt hear that. To this day, I don't know if it really was a wolf, but if it looks like one, walks like one and quacks like a one.. maybe?.. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lapland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lapland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lappi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lappi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suomi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suomi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/norway?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norway</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/norge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sweden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sweden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sverige?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sverige</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Treriksröset?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Treriksröset</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/treriksrøysa?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#treriksrøysa</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kolmekunnanrajapyykki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kolmekunnanrajapyykki</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kilpisjärvi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kilpisjärvi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/malla?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malla</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/käsivarsi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#käsivarsi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/käsivarrenerämaa?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#käsivarrenerämaa</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/saami?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#saami</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sápmi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sápmi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscapephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nordic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nordic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/luonto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luonto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/clouds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clouds</a>

JaakkoThe Poroharju esker in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. I captured this photo during my six-week solo winter hike. Esker is a large and extensive formation made of sand and rocks, and is quite common in Finnish landscapes. These eskers were formed during the Ice Age by melting water from glaciers. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Esker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Esker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Harju?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harju</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Fjell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fjell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mountain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mountain</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SonyAlpha?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SonyAlpha</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Käsivarsi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Käsivarsi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wilderness?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilderness</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Finland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WinterHike?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WinterHike</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Solohiking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solohiking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Outdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Outdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NatureLovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NatureLovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Geology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geology</a>
