Torneälvens upprinnelse


Here in the narrow strait near Jiegajarvi, Torneträsks water begins its 500 kilometre passage via the Torne River out into the Gulf of Bothnia. For most the journey, the river follows the border between Sweden and Finland, before flowing out near Haparanda. A shallow depression is seen to the left, where the frost has pressed up thousands of boulders from the wetlands.
