In the first part of the trip I drove east, first mostly along the coast to Alta, then across a plateau in Finnmark, Norway's northernmost county, to the east coast of the peninsula that leads up to Nordkapp. The first photo wasn't taken very far from Tromsų (in a straight line), but it's a couple hours away by road because of driving around the water.

 
 

 
  A bit farther along, just west of Alta.

 
 

 
  Some shots on the plateau east of Alta. It's not actually very high, a few hundred meters, about 1000 feet, but the tree line is very low, so it's high enough to be mostly without trees, but no shortage of snow.
