Sphagnum peat moss is covering large stretches of moorland around Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, showing purple-pink tips in summer. The colouring comes from sun exposure and stress pigments in the upper cell layers of the plant, a phenomenon being shared by nature observers and travellers in the Arctic Circle region.
