Reindeer Trail, Northern Norway, 1968

"Lapland knows no fixed boundaries; it extends across arctic Sweden, Norway, and Finland into Russia. The mountain Lapps depend on their reindeer for a livelihood, much as their forebears did more than a thousand years ago, and cling to many age-old customs in their seasonal pursuit of pasturelands."

—Text from the National Geographic book Vanishing People of the Earth, 1968
