There are traces of Sami tent settlements, old-tufts, rather, fishing facilities and fireplaces. The Sami are still running reindeer herding here.

The landscape has a very rich flora with many rare plant species. The whole area has been very important for understanding the establishment and distribution of plants and animals since the last ice age in Northern Norway.
