Rest time in the Arctic!
If you feel like its time to give yourself some time off and really find a quiet place to refuel the batteries then visit us in Lapland. It is so calm and relaxing out here, all you need to do is fall into a deep bit of snow and shut your eyes. Luckily its been...
The Ice fishing season begins!
Now we have finally come out of the polar night, we get to see daylight more and more often, which is great when one wants to go deep into the woods to discover what lies below the ice. With all this extra light we are getting (an extra 10-12 minutes a day) the fish...
The Northern Lights!

Sunset or Sunrise?
This was taken at 1330 today, its now actually quite rare to see the sun here, but we get a nice red glow from time to time. Now the snow mobiles also seem to be testing their luck on the river... which means Winter is nearly in full swing.

Ice comes in many shapes and forms everywhere in Lapland but today I managed to peel it from a leaf. As winter comes in we start to see ice everywhere here. It can be beautiful and it can be quite brutal, the ice quite literally shapes the land in Lapland. If your...
