Rahpaädno river seen from the Ladebakte mountain
by Jakob Keck, Germany
The view of the southern edge of the Ladebakte mountain in the Sarek national park in north Sweden. At this place the rivers Rahpajaka and Sarvesjaka meet to form the biggest river of the Sarek national park, the Rahpaädno. The rivers are fed by glaciers and carry a lot of rock material which lead to a distinct sedimentation and a fascinating river delta for which the Sarek park laying west of the Kungsleden hiking trail is famous.
As the borders of this picture are not straight (due to lens-correction in GIMP) an edited version has been uploaded.
