      Sederholm, who visited the district south of lake Enare in 1898, confirms Jernström’s observations; Herr Sederholm also informs me that the Jatulian quartzite, coming from Kittilä continues towards the south-east and reaches the river Kitinen north of the church of Sodankylä.

The return route followed the Kitinen and the Kemijoki, and then along the highroad to Rovaniemi and Kemi.
