En: The sky was clear, and the sun shone relentlessly on the Lapland fells. Fi: Tämä oli Arctic Tundra, missä hiljaisuus ja rauha vallitsevat. En: This was the Arctic Tundra, where silence and peace prevail. Fi: Kalle, yksinäinen kasvitutkija, vaelsi hitaasti maastossa. En: Kalle, a solitary botanist, wandered slowly through the terrain.
