Trip Summary

After arriving in Hammerfest quite late this day, I only made a quick and medium-short hike in the hills nearby the city. It was interesting to see, how Hammerfest struggles with all the reindeer around (having built a major fence, not at the least, for example). And, yes, you meet many of them just a "few steps" away from the city...
Note: I found it interesting that I could not find out, whether the tops, which I visited, have any names (and if so, which ones) -- if anyone knows, then please let me know! :-)
