Walking Sarek

What happens when you walk the wild of the sub-Arctic Swedish mountains, as if for the first time? This is a travel story of a solo hike by a natural scientist intimately familiar with these mountain landscapes. Part travel book, part reflective meeting of the land's rocky formations and its inhabitants, the reader is taken along a path of discovery of what it means to experience landscape without denying our understanding of the land. By allowing our personal experience to return and meet what we already can say, the world opens up in wonder again and restores a deep sense of belonging. The book is richly illustrated throughout with the author's landscape photography.
