yourbartender: Alueella ovat alkaneet rakennustyöt, joiden mukana purkki on jo ties missä. Ei ole hajua millainen tulevasta alueesta muodostuu, joten arkistoidaanpa tämä.

Geocache Description:

Korundi - Corundum. Art meets science - at least in the mystery :)

Original description by Hannu-Ilari Lampila in Rovaniemi

Corundum (korundi in Finnish) is a mineral, a crystalline form of aluminium oxide with traces of iron, titanium and chromium to be precise, from which precious gemstones are refined. People in Lapland say that the best blue sapphires come from the corundum found by prospectors in Lapland. When Lapland corundum is polished, the "Lapland star" will appear to sparkle on its surface.

Korundi is also the name of the new culture centre in the Lapland capital of Rovaniemi. The Korundi House of Culture operates in the former Rovaniemi mail-van depot, an old redbrick building from the 1930s. Part of the depot has been occupied by the Rovaniemi Art Museum since 1986.

The box houses the new 340-seat concert auditorium of the Lapland Chamber Orchestra. At the same time, the Art Museum was provided with some additional space in the old building.

______________________________

The initial coordinates take you to one of the entrances of Korundi. Solving the final coordinates needs some inter-disciplinary thinking and googling. The cache however is fairly easy to find and access, once you solve the coordinates.

Sorry this is only in English.

This is my first cache.
