It come a lot of snow and the wind blow up to storm. Snowstorm hit Kiruna in two days and nights but the local snowcleaning staff made it very good and nothing of the infrastructure was neither paralyzed nor delayed, everything works as normal here.

Join us during our journey in Arctic Lapland and experience an odd lifestyle and everyday life from the eyes of reindeer herders. You'll get the opportunity to take part of the experiences and adventures that we encounter in a hard everyday life characterized by a hash, cold and difficult winter in the mountain world northeast of Kiruna, the northernmost of Sweden, Finland, and Norway.
