Hallanvaara (Finnish for Risk of Frost) is the third studio album of Ismo Alanko Säätiö. Ismo Alanko composed the music and asked different people to provide the arrangements for the album.[3] In addition to Säätiö personnel, the album features two string ensembles: Arttu Takalon Jouset (Arttu Takalo's Strings) and Ville Kankaan Jousikvartetti (Ville Kangas' String Quartet).[4]
Kimmo Pohjonen, who had already left the band before the recording of Hallanvaara, plays accordion on "Peilikuva".[5]
