Four sections cut through a winding road along the Lofoten Islands. Inspired by the work of Alexander von Humboldt, the drawing is an illustrated record of the native plants, wildlife, geological strata, temperature, and observed cultural practices. A shift in scale gives higher clarity to details too small to see in section.
