Kevo Subarctic Research Station, palsa bog, Bigganjarga tillite, Varanger penisulaAbstract
Eight-day bus trip. Excursion started from Ivalo, first to Kevo Subarctic Research Station, next field trip from Kevo to a at Skallovarri, second field trip by foot to a palsa and at the end of the day to Bigganjarga tillite. The next day's ride on the northern side of the Varangerfjord and to the Varanger penisula. Further route by bus from Karlebotn to Lakselv - in the inner part of the Porsangerfjord and large bog area palsas. And from Lakselv back to Ivalo.
