Final stop - Kautokeino and Sami life
The final day of our expedition took both fires to Kautokeino, a town with the largest Sami population in Norway. We spent the morning visiting the Sami Museum and picking up some food from the local shop to add to our lunch by the riverside. In the afternoon we walked to the soon to be opened Sami University. Once there, we were given a talk by Professor Svein Matiesen on how global warming and climate change are affecting the Sami people and the Reindeer they herd. We then travelled once more to the camp site in Alta where we could get clean and relax ready to start packing up tomorrow for our return to the UK on Monday.
