 Me on the way by dave_21
Snowmobiles are both good and bad. I use it sometimes. It's absolutely the best transportation vehicle in the arctic for small or medium long distance travels.
This is a picture of me in Swedish Lapland. Leave a Comment

 Cover-up! I'm outta here!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr by Sharrie
Hehe, unlikely to be this!
It was freezing & cold.
Not more than 3 minutes out there & we were back to the van!
I had 3 layers on, a hat & gloves & thermal boots! Still, it's COLD!
Even the scarf was not sufficient!
I needed that ski-mask!
Blatantly cold but it was MOST fun! :-D Leave a Comment

 Midnight Sun by dave_21
A tips: If you ever tenting in the arctic, choose a tent with dark colours. It shuts out the light and store the heat of the sun, the nights can be very cold. Leave a Comment

 Red Bog with Cloudberrys by dave_21
A delicious berry that can be found here is Cloudberry (Can be found in whole Sweden) it's a great berry that cheers you up when you've been walking all day. It's very sweet and gives some well-needed energy back after a long day.
I often cook them when I'm out hiking, just mix it with some water and you'll have a delicious jam on your sandwich.
Cloudberrys can be found in almost every region of the arctic.

 Reindeers by dave_21
Some use the animal for transport and warm clothings, other just for the meat.
The North American Reindeer (Caribou) is not a different species of Reindeer. The Reindeer who's living in North America is originally from Russia and Europe. They both share the same latin name, "Rangifer Tarandus"
So if you ever see a "Caribou", it's a Reindeer. :-)

 Arctic Char by dave_21
This is almost the only fish that are quite active or alert in the winters. They can be found in the mountain lakes or rivers of the tundra.
They are extremely reserved.
I caught this a year ago in Swedish Lapland. Leave a Comment

 Cold Nights by dave_21
If you're visiting in winter, be sure to build up lots of layers of clothings. 2-3 layers of something tight on your skin. Than a couple of more layers on that. Do not use "big" clothes, use really tight clothes. The only big clothing you will have to use is a big coat.
This Picture is taken in Lapland, Sweden.
A beautiful area. Leave a Comment
