Even more, the rodc is covered by lichens, whose thickness varies from some tens of mm. to some cm. But anyway, these two facts are enough to mask completely the petrography, the limits between rock-types. The rock is often broken, with lots of joints whose surfaces are weathered, rusted, or with a chloritic coating. li might be difficult to get a good hand-specimen with a fresh cut. From go )d, the outcrop conditions are getting very bad when onsiclering detail structures such as in a fine-grained greenstone, or as gradded beddings, cross beddings, in banden rocks. Glacial streaks might also mask primary features of the roc,):. 1.1.4. CLIMATE Generally the snow disappears at the beginning of June in low areas; some zones, covering important surfaces, might be snow-covered during all summer. The melting of snow causes strong flood of the rivers, so that there are man; river-crossing problems for the geologist. Snowfall might occur at any moment in summer time. Temperatures range from 5°C (or less) up to 30°C within a few hours. The wind may be very strong. It happens that it is very strong in altitude and inexistant in the valley, causing an irregular gradient of pressure that should be takei into consideration when using an altimeter. According to floatplane piots, wind up to 50-60 kt/h are not uncommon. When the observatorium of Sukkertoppen was still operating at the beginning of the century, winds up to 60 m/s have been measured. I. E The summer 1974 was rather favourable concer1, ng the snow- conditions;the consequence of a winter with little snow and a warm wave at mid-June was that the area was free of snow. Our field experience from previous years indicates that such case is seldom. In 1975 the situation was very unusual, much more unpleasant in terms of working conditions: at mid-June the whole field above 400 rn was still snow-covered and the lakes were frozen, excepted in a zone of 2-3 km from the shore of the fjord. Mid-July the lakes were still frozen above 400 m and crossable some tens of meters higher. End-July even big lakes such as Storelvan ( 634 m) were still frozen. Baddervan ( 575 m) was free of ice, with important floating ice. Nikkeluob'baljav're (675 m) was frozen, except a small zone of some tens of meters on one side, and a very strong ice on the other side. The ice broke after a heavy storm and rain on August 6th. The lakes we found above 800 m kept frozen all the summer. The snow cover was important too. End June / beginning July it was very strong on slopes to the E (50 - 80%) and 20-50% on slopes to the W (above 400 m). Later, the snow melted, but important zones still remained covered, at the foot of cliffs or on the bottom of the valley. Big tunnels up to some meters high were taking shape above the streams and rivers flowing under the snow, forming dangerous snow-bridges, invisible until they were broken. This fact represented an additional danger for the work. Epzt of August some snowfalls happened above 700 m. At the be- ginning of September there was a period of 4 days of windstorm and snowfalls above 570 m.

    Tracing of old settlements and place names in a Sea Sámi region1 Marit B. Henriksen Sámi University College, Norway [email protected] Introduction The basis for this article is my work with an old land surveying document from Finnmark, in the north of Norway. The document is named Finnmarken Sorenskriveri Landmaalerprotokol, which in English would be The Landsurveying protocol of the County of Finnmark. The main objective for this presentation is to introduce some preliminary results of my work with the protocol and I will present parts of the process, as well as maps, figures and photos showing how the process turns out. About the region Finnmark is the northernmost county of Norway. Finnmark was the last area that became part of the Norwegian territory. The border between the Norwegian and Swedish area was drawn in 1751 and the border between the Norwegian and Russian area was drawn in 1826. Before the closing of the borders, several nation states were interested in this area, that is for taxation purposes. Because of this, the (mainly Sámi) population of the area had to pay taxes to at least three different nation states in periods (Denmark/Norway, Sweden and Russia). Norway was a dependency (satellite state) of Denmark from 1537 to 1814. From 1814, Norway was in union with Sweden, until Norway was declared an independent nation state in 1905. About the Sámi people and the Sámi languages The Sámi area covers parts of four different nation states, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. There are ten different Sámi languages: South Sámi, Ume Sámi, Pite Sámi, Lule Sámi, North Sámi, Inari Sámi, Skolt Sámi, Akkala Sámi, Kildin Sámi and Ter Sámi.

    Svecofennian shear zone networks of the Rombak Tectonic Window, North Norway: Structural architecture and regional correlation with the Fennoscandian shield Tine L. Angvik1 and 2, Iain H.C. Henderson1 and Steffen G.Bergh2 1. The Geological Survey of Norway 2. University of Tromsø Abstract The northern part of the Fennoscandian shield comprises several domains of Archean to Paleoproterozoic age. These domains include the Kola province in Russia, the Kola-Lapland and Kittilä provinces farther west, and the Norrbotten province in northern Sweden. The evolution of these domains was extremely complex and involved continental break ups, development of micro continents, island arcs and later closing of oceans (Kola ocean) accompanied by subduction, accretion and continent-continent collision. The Archean and Paleoproterozoic crust is commonly juvenile and the Fennoscandian shield has a high potential for mineral and ore deposits. Archean and Paleoproterozoic basement rocks are also present as inliers and outliers beneath and west of the Scandinavian Caledonides, and these provinces in general, have not been included in previous regional studies of the Fennoscandian Shield. Because of new knowledge of the stratigraphy, composition, age, structural relationship, and widespread sulphide mineralisation in the Rombak Tectonic Window and the similarities of these rocks with provinces farther north (inliers) and east, we consider them to be directly correlated with the basement rocks in northern Sweden, Norway and Finland. These provinces all show evidence of the same break-up activity in the Archean (2.5-1.9 Ga) that formed one or several micro continents filled in with Paleoproterozoic basin sediments and the development of island arcs and back arc basins and volcano-sedimentary deposits, terminating with the Svecofennian orogeny (1.92-1.79 Ga) which produced fold-thrust belts and regional ductile shear zones.

INTRODUCTION. The Karasjok-programme is located i8 Finnmark fylke, Northern Norway, centered at 69°20' N and 25 15' E. (Fig. 1). The tract of land is called Finnmarks-vidda, an area of about 14.000 km2, which means the southgoing sheety extension of the normal northern norwegian coaststate into the "Lappi" - district of Finland. It represents the norwegian part of the north scandinavian, respectivly artic, peneplain. The project-area lies in the eastern part of this region in the nearea, west of Karasjok, a town located at the Karasjåkka (Karasjok-river) 18 km west from Ihe Finnish-border.

  • When Ethnic Identity Is a Private Matter
    WHen ETHniC IDentitY is A PRivAte MAtteR KJELL OLSEN Finnmark University College 9511 Alta, Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT This article analyses the change of articulation of ethnic boundaries on the coast- line and the fjord areas in Finnmark, Northern Norway in the post-World War II period. From being a ‘social stigma’ in the 1950s a Sámi identity is today something that can be expressed in certain cultural constructed spaces. This change can be described as a result of socio-economic changes in the region, the populations’ firmer integration in a Norwegian culture and the ethno-political struggle of some Sámi that corresponded with a general development in the view on indigenous people in the Western world. Even if great changes have occurred there are still some resemblances with ethnic processes 50 years ago. A spatial ordering of ethnic boundaries and pragmatic assumption of Norwegian culture being neutral norm are among those features perpetuated until today. KEYWORDS: Sámi • ethnic boundaries • identity • cultural spaces Harald Eidheim’s (1969) article, ‘When Ethnic Identity is a Social Stigma’, is probably the most influential work on Sámi identity in Northern Norway (Eriksen & Hõem 1999: 127; Stordahl 2005). Based on his fieldwork in a small fjord area in Western Finnmark around 1960, he demonstrates how people attempt to hide an ethnic identity such as Sámi when Norwegians are present. A Sámi identity is only expressed in, what Eidheim describes as, closed mono-ethnic Sámi spheres. A Sámi identity becomes a stigma that guides interaction in all spheres because, due to local knowledge and highly local sym- bols, locals are always able to dichotomise between Sámi and Norwegians (Eidheim 1971: 50, 62).
