Rapa River Delta

Photograph by Sven Zacek , National Geographic Your Shot

We went backpacking in Sarek National Park but wanted to go deeper into the wilderness, which is why we chose to fly to the border with a helicopter, writes Your Shot member Sven Zacek . The park in northern Sweden is sometimes called the Alaska of Europe, he says. The sight of the Rapa River Delta in autumn colors was amazing, and I asked the pilot to do a couple of circles before landing.
