Description

Karigasniemi, Lapland. 
Sacred spring ( which never get frozen, even at -50°C ) and lake for Saami people.

"Unlike other waterways of the region, Suttesaja doesn't freeze over in winter, and that special quality is reflected in its name, which means "unfrozen stream". For the Sami, it has been a traditional sacred site and a place of healing for centuries, and an old sieidi site lies at one end of the spring. The Finnish National Board of Antiquities has registered the are as a heritage site of cultural and historical significance, and the stream itself is part of the watershed that is home to Europe's largest salmon river, an important source of Sami livelihood."
