So just before the end of May I made to northern Sweden to see what the Riksgransen had to offer.

My good friend Christian Bjork picked me up at the Airport in Kiruna about 24 hours after leaving Vancouver. I found myself in a helicopter 300kms north of the arctic circle and it certainly looked like tundra up there! His buddy Jimmy Halvardsson a local guide had arranged the heli to take us to the triangle run and was prepared with a rope and anchor to get passed the cornice. (yes I know it looks like you should just huck but the crust on top of the snow made that a terrible idea;-))

Riksgransen is so far north it never gets dark at that time of year, literally the sun doesn't set.
