Peat bogs

-17 °C

We stopped to see the peat bogs. Bogs are cut into pieces of peat about 4 inches by 10 inches by 4 inches and piled to dry. When they get to about 30% water content they can be burned like briquettes. A significant number of houses still burn peat to heat their homes. The bogs are very bouncy under your feet.
