Reindeers play major role in the life of the Sámi. According to a legend, reindeer was a gift to people from God of Sun and provided the Sami people with everything they needed: food, clothes, home and transportation🦌🦌🦌 Another interesting point is the Sami divided the year into 8 seasons associated with the life cycle of reindeer and herding: 🔹Winter-spring is the period of new-born calves 🔸Spring is the period of feeding the calves 🔹Spring-summer is the period when reindeers graze freely and get their food in the nature 🔸Summer is the period of reindeers earmarking 🔹Summer-autumn is the month of slaughtering deer 🔸Autumn is a rutting time and preparation for winter 🔹Winter-autumn is time to collect reindeers 🔸Winter is when Saami move reindeers to the forests, where they can get food and shelter from the cold We offer the excursions to reindeer farm and reindeer sleigh rides, which are the best way to get to know these animals and herding culture😌🦌 Bookings are available through link in bio!

Seeing the Northern Lights is on the bucket list for everyone from the "south" 🤗 Once you're lucky to be in the right place in the right time - next task is more tricky: to take photos and even videos with the Lights📸 ⠀ So these simple tips might come in handy to take photos: ⠀ 1. Light sensitive camera lens with shutter speed at least 10 seconds, better 15-25 (now even some smartphones have this option); 2. Tripod and timer setting are needed. Because camera takes pictures in a continuous mode, so all vibrations will be visible on the photo 3. If you are filming yourself against the background of the aurora, stay steady, do not move and try to hold your breath; 4. The aperture of the camera should be as open as possible; 5. ISO values ​​of 400-1600 depending on the aurora brightness and your camera; 6. Switch the focus mode from automatic to manual and focus on distant objects (house lights or street lamps), find so called "infinity focus" 7. It is important to remember about warm place where you can quickly warm up, it could be a car or kota. ⠀ To make your aurora hunting experice more comfortable, we offer unforgettable experience at Polarman’s camp – our exclusive place just outside Levi, without tourist buzz, with almost 360⁰ sky view, minimum light pollution and warm Aurora dome shelter! During the program we also shoot real time video of the Northern Lights! ⠀ Bookings are available through link in bio!

Eight “S” of Finland ⠀ Suomi🇫🇮 This is how the name of this northern country sounds in Finnish, which, according to one version, comes from the word "suomu" ("scales"), since the ancient inhabitants sewed clothes for themselves from fish skin. However, according to the other, a certain Danish nobleman wore the name Suomi, who concluded peace with King Charlemagne. Perhaps the name is of Estonian origin: "Sooma" - "land of swamps" ⠀ Santa Claus🎅🏻 The hero of childhood dreams around the world, lives on the Korvatunturi hill in Lapland, receives guests at his Official Residence at the Arctic Circle all year round and in several other places throughout the country ⠀ Ski⛷ There are no mountains in Finland, but there are beautiful fells with wide and well-groomed slopes, ideal for children and those learning to ski. Finns are happy to spend their weekends at ski resorts, of which there are about 68 in total. Cross-country skiing is even more popular among Finns rather than downhill skiing ⠀ Snow❄️ Winter in Finland is snowy and mild, snow in Lapland resorts can be found from November-May! Soft, clean and fluffy snow allows organizing all kinds of winter activities, such as snowmobiling, reindeer or husky sledding, and the construction of large snow castles ⠀ Sisu😌 The main feature of the Finnish national character, meaning willpower, perseverance, diligence, endurance, the desire to not give up, but in the absence of difficulties, sometimes even just stubbornness ⠀ Sauna Finns cannot imagine life without a sauna, it is everywhere, whether it is a wooden sauna in a country house, in a tourist cottage, in a spa complex, or even a small electric sauna in a city apartment. In 2020, the Finnish sauna was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List ⠀ Sibelius🎶🎵 The famous Finnish composer Jan Sibelius is the author of national symphonic poems, revealing themes of nature, national character and greatness of the country ⠀ Salmiakki⚫️ art licorice candies invented by Karl Fazer in the mid-19th century.
