Aloha Mike! We love your journals! They are so interesting :) I used to live in northern Wisconsin, along the shores of Lake Superior. There is a town there that is called Oulu. Everytime I read your posts, I am reminded of it and the long, long winters. The average greening day (the day the leaves pop from the deciduous trees) is May 25th. Now that's a long winter! The landscape looks a lot like the pictures you post too. My question stems from your last post on Finland rising, as opposed to sinking. Are there earthquakes from the rebounding land? Also, following through with the living on glacier question...Did the ancients live on the glaciers? Was there loess deep enough so that they weren't even aware? Thanks you so much for all your hard work in your journals. We have learned so much about Finland! warmly, Maggie
