		To protect its sensitive natural scenery and examples of its cultural heritage, in 1910 Sweden was the first European country to establish national parks, mainly in the mountainous districts of Norrland but also elsewhere in the country.

		The cultural fire regime, that is to say forest and range fires due to human activity, seems to have been very important in Norway, and somewhat underestimated in current fire debates.
		It is possible that the Norwegian coastal mountains and higher elevated forests may be important as refugia for "fire avoiders" and species dependent on continuity in Fennoscandia.

		On ice shelves the spatial variability is less than 10%, in grounded coastal areas it ranges between 20-40% and on the high altitude plateau it ranges up to 20%.
		It is suggested that the optimal place in Scandinavia to search for glacier ice that contains paleoclimatic signals is in the eastern part of the Scandinavian mountain range, where the climate is relatively dry and the glacier mass turnover is low.
		It is also concluded that glacial cirques are in general not good proxy data for climatic reconstructions, since the climatic conditions required for the excavation of glacial cirques are not well understood.

		Ptolemy also supposed the northern coast of Germany, beyond the Cimbric Chersonese (Denmark), to be the southern shore of the Northern Ocean, with a general direction from west to east.
		Of the almost wholly landlocked Baltic he was entirely ignorant, as well as of the Scandinavian Peninsula; his Scandia is an island smaller than Corsica, lying in the true position of southern central Sweden.
		While Strabo was fully alive to the importance of the rivers and mountain chains which (in his own phrase) " geographize " a country, Ptolemy deals with this part of his subject in so careless a manner as to be often worse than useless.

	Influence of non-hydrostatic gravity waves on the stratospheric flow field above Scandinavia
		For example, the record low temperature of -94.5 C measured at 26 km some 500 km downstream of the Scandinavian mountain range could be simulated successfully by the mesoscale model (Dörnbrack et al., 1999).
		The second part comprises the small-scale numerical simulations of the three-dimensional flow over the Scandinavian mountain range by means of the code EULAG by Piotr K Smolarkiewicz.
		Here, the influence of shorter, non-hydrostatic mountain waves will be studied and compared with independent observations of European and international field campaigns.

		On the sheltering side of the mountain range, the downward wind of the föhn phenomenon dries and warms up the air close to the ground.
