Bird's-eye view

This photograph is of the Biological Research Station, which is where the KAIRA team are staying. However, this is a slightly different view.

The photograph was taken looking over the precipice of Saana during the excursion last week. Yes, I was being careful when I took this!

Just beyond the edge, and far below, are the buildings of the station. Then there is the lake itself. There were a few pieces of ice floating about (there's one in this view), but the lake is mostly clear now.

The opposite shore is Sweden. (The Fenno-Swedish border runs down the middle of the lake.)
