SAREK NATIONAL PARK
EUROPE'S HIDDEN NATURALTREASURE
1
I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.Even though the sun is brightly
shining,telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.I'm above the Arctic Circle,where in summer
the sun never sets.Checking my watch,I see that it is 7:30 a.m.I leave my tent and wallk over to the
mountain edge.Spreading out before me,branches of the Rapa River llow through the valley below.I'm
in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park,a place with no roads or towns.

Sarek's mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice.Around 9,000 years ago.this ice
melted.leaving behind about 100 glaciers.Soon after.reindeer began to arrive.Following the
reindeer were the Sami people,who made this territory their home.Getting here is quite difficult.
so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek.In 1909.Sarek was made a national
perk in order to keep the land in its natural state.Though the Sami are allowed to continue their
traditional way of life in the park,no one else can live here,and all new development is banned
within perk boundaries.At the far side of the valley,an ancient Sami cottage is visible.Close by.
there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.
For hundreds of years,looking after reindeer was
a way of life for the Sami.They used the reindeer's
meat for food,their bones for tools.and their skin for
making clothes and tents.Since reindeer were always
on the move.the Sami would pick up their tents and
accompany them.Today.most Sami have houses in
villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their
neighbours.But every spring.a small number of Sami
still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek.living
in tents or old cottages and enioying their traditions.I am not a Sami,but in Sarek I've adopted
some of ther habits.For example,this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire.dried
reindeer meat.and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.

After breakfast.I pack my bag and set out again.Since I must carry all of my food and supplies
with me,my bag weighs about 30 kilograms.If today is anything like yesterday,it will be full of
sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the
valley.However,I cannot complain.Being in such a beeutiful and wild place makes me feel blessed
to be alive.Here I am.alone under this broad sky.breathing the fresh air.and enjoying this great
adventure.What could be better?
