Conclusion: Monstrous Worlds. 330 $aThis open access book investigates human-environment relations in the context of the anthropocenic Arctic. Through an archaeological and anthropological study of landscape, it wields ?weirding? ? a creative mode of engagement with the world ? as a means of coming to terms with the stranger, experiential dimensions of a planet populated by diverse non-human entities often bearing monstrous characteristics. Such entities are exemplified by climate change itself, at once human-induced and a force of its own volition that maintains an elusive ?presence? as a co-inhabitant of the Anthropocene. The book focuses on the landscape of Ritni?ohkka, a fjell in Sápmi, Finnish Lapland. Ritni?ohkka is erstwhile home to a diminutive ?glacier?, whose ?weird?, anomalous characteristics crowned the fjell until it several years ago melted into history. Taking a broadly autoethnographic approach, it considers perceptions of, and affective experiences in, this rough and relatively remote, ?otherworldly? environment, discussing diverse ways of encountering and relating to the Arctic in the context of scientific fieldwork.
