Today we took a boat to the northwestern part of lake Kilpisjärvi. A 3km walk took us to the "Treriksröset" point where the borders of Norway, Sweden, and Finland meet. From there we hiked along the Arctic Trail 14km back to the research station along the shoulder of Malla. A lot of rain and some wind above 600m elevation.
