"Lapland is a land of men's men, and so its women and children have also been shaped to endure meager, joyless conditions. All growth here remains low, both of people and other life. Here, you have to stay close to the surface of the ground so that the freezing wind doesn't cut the tops." Suomi-Film's film crew in the spring landscapes of Fell Lapland's Yliperä hiking towards the end point, the peak of the "holy fell" Halti. The men are tough with their sledges, but true fell hikers are used to wind and mist. When a storm surprises you, then you wait for the weather to clear up.
