The wild beauty of bogland captivates and enchants more and more wanderers. In the solitude of great bogs, there is room for self-searching and to measure one’s strength. What is hidden in the earthy existence of pine bogs, coniferous swamps, open bogs, and fens smelling of Marsh Labrador tea and peat? How does the exhilarating beauty of the bogs appear from the air and how have the wetlands changed from scourges to be defeated to nature reserves and hiking destinations?
The book is a fascinating story-based photo work from the Finnish bogs that are a piece of the wildest and the most original nature of the country. The book takes the reader to the northern flooding aapa mire, the southern high bog and the North Karelian conservation area to fill in the swamp drainages.
