Arctic Adventure

This time of the year here is high season for Icefishing with a wide range of icefishing tours that starts from Kiruna. Weather conditions are perfect for activities outdoors and still the cold nights make it possible to travel on snow and ice until the end of april. A very common activity here among tourists and the locals are all the numbers of icefishing contests happening here every weekend. When you participate in a icefishing contest you competite with tousands of other icefishing at the same time on a given area on a lake or river ice. Most of the icefishing contests here are a exciting event during two hours of competition. Then you participate in a lottery and a prize ceremony where the winner and hundreds of participants get awards. One of the biggest icefishing contests happens in Killpisjärvi, northern Finland, some 300 kilometers drive from Kiruna, Sweden. Here, around 6000 ice fishermen participate at the ice in an outstanding ice fishing competition. Read more here! ht...

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.

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.

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