Finnish Lapland
Lapland is Finland’s northernmost region, a sparsely populated area bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea. It’s known for its vast subarctic wilderness, ski resorts and natural phenomena including the midnight sun and the Northern Lights. Capital Rovaniemi is the gateway to the region. The homeland of the indigenous Sami people, which extends into neighboring countries, centers on the far north.
A Night to RememberThis safari took us into the northern evening to the Igloo site where we roamed around the nearby forest and watch a Northern Lights-show inside a spectacular and gigantic Snow Igloo. We admired the beautiful ice sculptures inside the igloos, learn about Lappish nature from the stories on an illuminated path outside. No Northern Lights this evening as there was 100% cloud cover. Dinner at the traditional Lappish wooden Kammi wias served. 17 images |
