Kiruna and Abisko aren't quite as flat as Muncie/Bloomington. And Greg/Mark, I think you’ll agree I topped Muncie by the end of this thing.

My thinking went along with Greg's, that it looks like the "moose tracks" they put on the outside of the Moose Tracks ice cream containers. So yeah, I'm not exactly Survivorman out here.

It looks a bit too cold for my liking though. :-) Theresa, you are totally right that it is an Arctic hare trail. I googled it and found pics just like Jeff's. They've got the two long footprints nearly side-by-side, and then the smushy looking (that's the technical term) smaller front print where their front paws come together. http://tinyurl.com/2jwzcs It looks beautiful!

Those tracks are awfully close together. I'd imagine moose footprints would be at least a foot of two apart. Unless this was a moose missing a leg...or two...or three. I'm voting Arctic hare. Yes, definitely hare. Um, where would the other set of feet go? Those tracks are awfully close together. I’d imagine moose footprints would be at least a foot of two apart.

Now that its March and I have endured the dreariness of winter in a temperate climate, I have no intentions of extending by going to the tundra. Sorry, but thanks. But I would like to see the Northern Lights, so I guess I'll go in the summer when snow will be a treat. Yeah, I agree with Greg.

That doesn't look like that tasty flavor of ice cream to me. But I may be wrong. Beauty? Yes thats what I love, endless snow. If you hadn't alerted me to the fact that its Sweden, I may have mistaken it for Muncie, since this so called beauty is what Muncie looked like through all of January and February. To be continued?! This better be worth it. Moose tracks? That doesn’t look like that tasty flavor of ice cream to me. But I may be wrong. Beauty? Yes thats what I love, endless snow.
