Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge… 2 A Land of Mountains and Ice Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice.
