betjemausSome pictures from Tarfala Valley in the Kebnekaise massif, north Sweden.<br> <br> The trail to Tarfala is sort of a side trail off of the Kungsleden trail between NIkkaluokta and Abisko. In summer the first part of this trail is ridiculously green and lush. It follows a river with blue glacial water, so pure, you can just scoop it up and drink it. I find that a strangely satisfying action.<br> The world changes from colour to black &amp; white once you near the upper part of the valley. Black rock, white ice, not one but two glaciers. Stong fallwinds coming down from the high mountains that guard the valley, making it hard to step forward at times. I cannot begin to describe how overwhelming it feels to just walk here, on your own little self, surrounded by this big Nature. A feeling to never forget, because it so much represents that fascination for the arctic that I"ve had since I can remember.<br> <br> The red buildings in the first picture are from the research station of the University of Stockholm. They pop up kind of out of nowhere somewhere in the middle of the trail.

The vast island, with a population of just 57k, has been caught up in a geopolitical race for dominance in the #Arctic, where melting #IceCaps are making its #resources more accessible & opening new #shipping routes. Both #Russia & #China have intensified #military activity in the region.

"People want change...We want more business to finance our welfare," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen, #Demokraatit's leader & a former minister of industry & #minerals.

"The Russian attack on Ukraine has had major consequences thousands of miles from the battlefields. Since Russia launched its invasion in 2022, the state that contains around half of the total landmass above the Arctic Circle has been effectively excluded from the field of transnational Arctic cooperation.

Regardless of the merits of temporarily cutting Russia off, it is the Arctic’s indigenous peoples — with longer histories in the region than the states within whose borders they now find themselves — who have suffered most from the decision and from the broader Arctic fallout of the conflict.

During that time, they have been recruited for war, seen connections across state borders severed, and suffered from a “pause” of the Arctic Council, an international forum where they had fought for representation."

jacobin.comThe Race for the Arctic Is Undermining Indigenous RightsThe Arctic region is becoming a theater for competition between states over its resources and geopolitical advantages. This is having a deeply harmful impact on the indigenous peoples of the Arctic, whose way of life doesn’t fit in with state borders.
