Today we're back to the flora that surrounds the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory (SGO) area. Across the road from the SGO entrance, there is a large swamp area, where the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI, also based at Tähtelä) have a number of measurement instruments. And, during our recent walk through the area, we took a few photographs of some of the flora in this swamp region. The photographs shown here are of cottongrass.
