Muskox


The muskox is an Arctic mammal which primary lives in Canadian Arctic and Greenland, small introduced populations live in Sweden, Siberia, Norway and Alaska. Muskoxen are closely related to sheep and goats than to oxen.

Piżmowół jest arktycznym ssakiem zamieszkującym głównie arktyczne tereny Kanady oraz Grenlandię, gatunek został również wprowadzony w Szwecji, Norwegii, na Syberii i Alasce. Piżmowoły są bliżej spokrewnione z owcami i kozami niż z wołami.

Thanks to Tone for this postcard.

Torghatten, a mountain in Nordland county. There's a legend about the tunnel in the mountain, according to it the hole was made by a troll when  he was chasing a girl. He knew he would not catch her so he released an arrow to kill her instead. The troll-king threw a hat into the arrow's path to save the girl. The hat turned into Torghatten with a hole in it.
