Finally we came to a long set of rapids and had to leave the boat and go overland in search of a Lapp who lived 7 miles away. We walked over hills and past springs, along paths and through valleys. ‘Empetrum’ [Crowberry] and heather covered the hillsides and snared our feet, as did the trees fallen lengthwise and crosswise – that we had to scramble over. In the bogs we were hindered by bog moss that gave way underfoot and by ‘Betula nana’ [Dwarf Birch] that tripped us up.
