The point Luvdiidcohkka Kautokeino, Finnmark, Norway is located above the tree line; there are no trees near the point. It is now marked by a geodetic sign; previously there was a cross under which a stone pyramid was piled. From here, there is a magnificent view of the surrounding landscapes.
The path to the point from the road passes by the lake Unna Goastejavrras, from which you can go directly south to the point. The estimated walking time from the road to the point is one hour. The Struve Arc, once known as the "Russian" and later the "Russian-Scandinavian Meridian Arc," is one of UNESCO's World Heritage monuments. The arc consists of 265 triangulation points, where measurements were conducted from 1816 to 1852 that allowed determining the exact size and shape of the Earth.
The reference points of this triangulation network were marked on the ground in various ways: hollows carved into rocks, iron crosses, stone pyramids, or specially installed obelisks. Often they were marked with sandstone bricks laid at the bottom of a pit; sometimes it was a granite cube with a cavity filled with lead, placed in a pit with cobblestones.
During the project to include the Struve Arc in the UNESCO list, which lasted 8 years, special search and geodetic work was carried out in each country to locate the original points. All information from all the countries of the Struve Arc was collected, structured, and standardized.
Not all of the original points were found during the special search and geodetic work carried out in recent years with active cooperation from scientists of the interested countries, and many of them were found to be heavily damaged. Therefore, only the best-preserved points—a total of 34—were included in the World Heritage site.
