On both sides of the river I saw the huts in which the Lapps live in the summer. When they have stayed at each place for a week at most, they move on for the sake of the grazing for the reindeer and, in any case, they themselves do not thrive in one place for any length of time. They drive the whole herd, calves and all, into the river and let them swim across, for reindeer swim well even though the river here is 8 gunshots wide.
