Elevational gradients are used in many ways to do science. Because it get’s warmer when you go down a mountain, we use them to simulate climate change. But going upwards is like going back in time. There is still snow and spring is just starting up here in Finse. If time goes to fast for you, just take the train up to Finse and you will be back in spring!

We saw Erigeron uniflorus, Primula scandinavcia, Beckwithia glacialis and Rhodiola rosea. (Please correct me if species names are wrong)! Thanks.
