Image
  Day 3 started with blue skies and a temp of 6c but there was a fresh wind for the first part of the morning and once packed we set about  exploring this huge long valley The snout of Oarjep Ruohtesjiegna glacier The Smajlajjahka river was thick and murky with glacier run off,so we followed it for a while till we found a good spot to cross,the problem with these rivers is you cant see how deep they are,or where the bigger boulders are Above where we came from and below where were wandering too Even with this cloud coverage we had the solar panels on our packs,i picked up 55% charge back into my battery pack,this day  As we strolled along taking in the views we saw some others camped on a small island in the river,infront of us the blue skies were building nicely  I think this is the peak Tjaggnaris  We reached the only emergency shelter in the Sarek park Satellite phone too) at dinner time and had lunch there as we met a few others coming from the other valleys...
