Finland (Muonio)
Silence, saunas, and the northern lights
We chased the aurora across a frozen landscape, warmed up in a lakeside sauna, and found the quietest place we've ever been. Finland is a country of extremes — endless summer light and deep winter darkness — and both are breathtaking in their own way.
Highlights
- Northern lights — finally seeing the magic in the sky
- Finnish sauna — getting properly Finnish for an afternoon
- Snowmobile ride — cold faces, fast machines, huge smiles
- Husky ride — letting the dogs do all the hard work
- Reindeer — because you can't visit Lapland without meeting a few
- Snowshoeing — discovering that walking through deep snow requires equipment
