Sea Mounds by Alchemic Vessel

«A distant, fairy-tale-like, many-faced and many-named land: Lapland, Murman, the Arctic Circle, the great reindeer country, the land of black days and white nights, the sun that never sets or rises, the land of northern lights and unafraid birds... And even the edge of the world.

A small Lopar village. Eight huts and as many barns stand haphazardly on the rocky shore of the lake, as if thrown by someone angrily, like unwanted husks of eaten nuts.

No sooner had the people warmed themselves after the long winter, and summer had already fled southward, together with the migratory birds, and a new winter, the one thousand nine hundred and fifteen and sixteenth, had set in all over Lapland.»
