The arrival of the summer rise in the Arctic, a sort of explosion of joy. Suddenly nature seems euphoric. The tundra's permafrost, or permanently frozen subsoil, it melts a bit 'on the surface, creating shallow marshes. The ground thawed out from his stupor to return to live. The many seeds dormant just waiting to be able to awaken. Within a few weeks, the vegetation explodes, thanks to remain almost constant sunlight that favors growth.
Anywhere is a flowering plant: the poppy from flowers yellow or white, the red willow, the Epilobium mauve, the cassiopea Lapland. Some of these species have practical use: the head dell'erioforo, also known as "cotton grass", was until recently used by the Inuit as padding for the boots. Abundant blueberries and other berries as well as various types of fungi.
