Figure 42. The grazed areas of eastern Finnish Lapland and the areas void of lichen in the vicinity of Nikel are readily distinguishable from the clearly lighter, ungrazed areas in the Kola Peninsula. This satellite imagery was taken in 1987, 1990 and 1993, and it was subjected to main-component analysis. The partial enlargement shows a close-up of the effect of fences in the vicinity of Raja-Jooseppi, Inari, eastern Finnish Lapland.
