Lapland 2024

First view of Finland in early March

On the airport of Ivalo at dawn

On the second day we drive to Kamisak Huskies

The dogs bark and howl and are impatient to start running

This one is very happy to see us

And off we go

The Siberian Huskies run fast, about 40kmh in the beginning

It is a sunny afternoon at -2 degrees

Adam takes a picture for us

We give them a rest to cool down

Our team jumps up to start again

Having the time of our lives

There we go again

Roxanne is mushing the sledge now

They run slower now

After cooling down for 1 minute, they start howling again

Running is their favourite hobby

We arrive back at the kennel

The dogs had a good time

It is hugging time

The fish soup is ready in the tipi

We visit the puppy park

This is our favourite pet

Puppies galore

These are the chain dogs

They are not locked in cages

This one is a bit lazy today

Seela stays at home

Reincarnation of David Bowie

Nice to see you

Sometimes, Jere stays at our guide Adam&#x27;s home

In the jacuzzi of Juutua Wilderness Hotel

We searched for the aurora, but we found only stars

Walking on frozen lake Inari

Selfie on lake Inari

The slippery Juutua trail

Posing in the forest

Bridge on the river Juutua

The river cuts through the ice

Selfie on the bridge

Looks pretty wild

We continue to walk the Juutua trail

Just a few kilometres to go

Bingo! The aurora is there.

Aurora above our hotel and the river Juutua

We go to lake Inari for a better view

Standing still for 30 seconds

The Aurora changes shape and colour all the time

The lights get more and more spectacular

Shooting star in the middle of this pic

Curtains of light

And another selfie

Kiss with the northern lights

Green flames above lake Inari

We are so lucky the clouds opened up tonight

Aurora above Wilderness Hotel Inari

One last splash of light before we leave

Our room is the last door

Ready for take off

Driving the snow mobile on lake Inari

Changing pilot

Reindeer in the forest

An island in lake Inari

A frozen lake is ideal for a snow mobile

Reindeer of the family that owns the snow mobiles

Feed me more moss!

Pork sausage in the tipi, not reindeer

Ready for the last leg

There is the finish

Our last day in Lapland

We take it very easy today

Time to release the drone above the river Juutua

The river crushes the ice

We stop for a walk up to Bear&#x27;s Den Stone

View on the Finnish pine forest

Selfie on the top

Heading back south
