Skogvoll Nature Reserve
 Singh-Ray GND 2 Soft My home county Andøy is a naturalist eldorado. While human impact in many areas are severe (because of farming activities and extensive cabin building - where people stay during holidays) other areas are left alone. We have wetlands, steep mountains, rolling hills, miles of white beaches, farmland, fjords, arctic forests and an extremely varied climate. All this makes for interesting photography all year round. This image is from one of the largest nature reserves on the main island, which houses some of the richest variety of fauna and flora in Europe. This is http://www.ramsar.org's description of the area: The mire area is one of the most extensive lowland Atlantic mire complexes in Norway, dotted with numerous ponds and lakes. The other half of the area consists of shallow marine waters, with islets and skerries, tidal zones and a rare lagoon system with brackish and fresh water. Wet salt-influenced meadows fringe the shorelines. The marine part of the site is important for staging migratory birds, particularly Pink-footed Goose Anser brachyrhynchus. The system of brackish lagoons with freshwater flora (Hippuris, Potamogeton) in the tidal zones has been noted by botanists as very rare. Human impact upon the site is very low. Svein-Frode
