Arctic Adventure

Snowstorm and poor visibility early in the morning when we travel over the mountain on snowmobile. But it clears up to the day and the visibility gets better. We manage again without having to orient ourselves with the help of gps.

Climbing up mountains with snowmobiles in deep snow can be a real adventure in itself. Here it is also a densely overgrown low mountain that we have climbed this wonderful morning.

A winter landscape covered in deep snow in February near the border between Sweden and Norway. A wonderful morning on the way to a higher mountain to look over the reindeers.

There are huge views from the mountain peaks when there is clear weather on the mountains.

Here we look for the reindeer down in the valley from a higher mountain to see that everything is calm and peaceful. It usually gives an idea of how the reindeer are fed from the ground, then they keep calm.

The wind has blown away much of the snow on the high mountain in mid-February. But winter is not over for it, it will snow many days yet, several months, and we will have snow left until mid-May.

A few days on the mountain can be fabulously beautiful, this evening in February was a wonderful evening to stay little bit longer than usually on the mountain.

My friend just arrives home from being to the reindeer herd on the mountain. We live in a cabin for the season on the mountain and have a 40 minute snowmobile ride every day to the reindeer herd. Today it was -28 ° C cold and windy.

It may happen that some days on the mountain can get down to -40 degree celcius cold in February.

Ready for an evening trip on snowmobiles across the mountain to feed the reindeers.

This represents a frozen snowmobile on the mountain. It is one of many machines that we use nowadays as reindeer herders.

During the winter it can be difficult for the reindeer to find food from the ground through the deep snow, especially if the snow is hard and icy! May be a reason why the reindeer are looking for villages and settlements.

Early morning in February. I had a group of reindeers outside the cottage when I wake up!
