Who was Friedrich Wilhelm Georg Struve? What is a geodetic arc and why is it on the UNESCO World Heritage List?
What mining activity took place in the Raipas mountains and why is this so important for many residents of Alta today?
Join us on a walk to the top of Lille Raipas. Maybe you will return wiser and fitter?
