JOURNEY 





TO 



LAPLAlVD. 



In the latter part of this day, Jidi/ 15thj 

 I set out on my return from the low grounds 

 of Norway. The heat was very powerful 

 as we began to ascend the mountains. 

 When we reached what had seemed to uå 

 from below the summit of a hill, we saw 

 just as lofty an eminence before us, and 

 this was the case nine or ten successive 

 times. I had no idea of such mountains 

 before. The elevation of this hill cannot 

 be taken by any geometrical instrument, 

 as the summit is not visible, even at some 

 miles' distance. I believe its height must 

 exceed a Swedish mile, but to climb it was 

 worse than going two miles any other way.
