6th. I left Kvikkjokk in the afternoon and after 1 3/4 miles came to the mountain VALLEVARE, which was easily 1 3/4 miles high. When I reached its slopes I seemed to be led up into a new world and, as I ascended it, I might as well have been in Africa or Asia, for the soil, the situation, and all the plants were unfamiliar to me. I had now arrived in the mountains. All around me lay snow-covered hills and I was walking upon snow as though in the depths of winter. All of the rare plants I had seen before and rejoiced in existed here as if in miniature; what is more, there was such an abundance of them that I was terrified that there were more than I could possibly deal with.
