Girls of Angeli, or as they called today, Angelit are the famous local folk band. They are from the small village of Angeli in Lapland, far away from any place. And of course, they are singing in their native local language, the Sami language of Lapland.
Juhannus is the main summer celebration in finland. Held immediately after summer solstices, it celebrates the longest day of the year.The preferate place is the mökki (the summer cottage), ideally placed by some lake or by sea.Grilled sausages, beer, the music and the fun are the main ingredients. But the most important event of the evening is the bonefire (the kokko).We spent the last Juhannus in Lapland, precisely in Akaslompolo, together with people that we didn't know, but who invited us to join them, just because we were strangers and passing by. It was lovely!

When the sauna is warm, the door is opened, smoke let out… i can’t explain it but smoke sauna has different kind of heat, its milder but at the same time hotter than in the traditional sauna...when you feel too hot in there and i’m sure you will, just run out and jump into the...
A log house in Finnish is called mökki.It is traditionally a very typical form of house. Since in northern Lapland suitable wood is scarce Sami people (native inhabitants of Lapland) used to live in tipi-like tents.Nowadays log houses serve as domicile mainly for tourists or as Finns' holiday homes.
If you encounter reindeer in Lapland, you will have good chances in doing so, be aware that they are always owned. All the reindeer are domestic and very well looked after. There are no wild ones in Lapland although they are free to move almost as they wish to.
