LichtenHansen > Arctic char 0.7 kg (1.5 lb) caught by Ida.
Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) grows to about 2 kg (2.4 lb) in these waters, but the smaller ones are better to eat and this one is a perfect size for 2 people. 
Fishing is very good in this part of Lapland and you can also catch Greyling  (Thymallus thymallus) and trout.

The Wandering Albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, with the average wingspan being 3.1 meters (10.2 ft).  
It is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, mostly because of long line fishing after tuna, which kills about 5% of the population every year.
