A strenuous 2 hour hike up onto the Tundra , including climbing down and up 2 steep ravines with raging streams flowing down them, brought us to the reindeer we had spotted from the road as tiny specks of grey in the binoculars. Sadly this is a close as we got. They are hunted for meat and so are wary of people. The smoked reindeer heart we had that night in the resteraunt was delicious! (Reindeer = Caribou)
This 300 year old builing is perched up off the ground on rocks . It was used to store grain, flour etc and had butter churn, weaving loom , spinning wheel etc also stored in it , but I dont know if the butter would have been made in this building. I suspect the weaving loom would have been used in the main house ( no fireplace in the store).
Didnt see any root cellars..so I dont know where they kept the potatoes...they certainly grow lots.
