[@m.j.4711]

This has been my dream since I was a little kid. Lapland and Northern Lights are the things I wanna see before I die. There is no other place on this planet that I would love to visit as much as Lapland!

[@Veryfreshveryflourish24]

Melina James I hope some day it will come true

[@mrsTraveller64]

I was there as a kid,it was more snow than I ever could have imagined!!! And sooo cold in February! But beautiful,mostly I remember the snowy forests, breathtaking! That was 40 yrs ago...Since then I travel to Greek islands whenever I get a chance😍

[@catladybabygurl]

Wooo! Finland!🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@homefamilyemail1654]

M. J. It is so amazing there I went yesterday (Tuesday) and I loved it! I do recommend you stay for two days as it will be tiring if you go on the airplane and leave on the same day you will be tired 💤 I did this and I was super tired 💤 I woke up at half three in the morning and got back the next day at 1:40 am. Well carry on it’s you’re dreams and beg you’re parents

We who live here,do not allways realize how wonderful place we live. And this feeling is globally. We need outsider to remind us. Thank you.

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

some Finns are born with a golden spoon up their arse, because they dont realize just how great Finland is to live in. also applies to other nordic countries. they are usually ppl who havent really traveled alot.

[@jukkakarna7810]

Do your country yourself,like you wanna. Our grandfathres did it in war,to give ourselfs that spoon in our asses.

[@jukkakarna7810]

And there is no excuses to that i live in country,where my grandfathers fight,for that i have a spoon in my ass.

-25C and below gives the best views because at that temperature air just can't anymore carry really any humidity and it condenses and freezes to trees. Like this: pxhere.com/fi/photo/1284475

And we Finns escape to Thailand in winter :) I do agree, Lapland is something special in winter, spring (around March) is the best time to visit I think, still full winter but more sunlight and usually not too cold anymore. BackPackerSteve, thanks for the cool video!

[@BackPackerSteve]

Thanks so much - I really enjoyed traveling there and experiencing all this great stuff. What a great place on earth!

Sono stato 2 volte ma penso che ci ritornerò un'altra volta, il fascino del posto è magia

[@NigelBN1]

Hi there. We've been to Lapland twice and your video was very comprehensive, so very much thumbs up! Couple of bits of personal advice for anyone considering a Lapland winter holiday. (1) If a holiday description refers to husky ride or safari, find out if you will have control of the sled, ie be able to stand at the back and use the brake, or if you're expected to sit and just be driven. We've done both, and much prefer driving ourselves - folk shouldn't worry because the dogs are really the ones in control and they'll follow the right route. The alternative - just sitting - can get very cold! Same goes for reindeer safari - you'll probably be sitting, almost on the ground, so wrap up extra well. (2) Doing snowshoe walking is great because the snow is deep and pristine. But it is very very tiring - be fairly fit! (3) Sometimes just walk on a path into the woods and just enjoy the peace and quiet. (4) Don't bank on seeing the aurora - regard it as a bonus if you do. We've seen some nice green glows but never the full dancing skies. It's a fabulous holiday to do either way. Thanks again for a great video.

[@solaris051]

Thanks a lot for the upload! We're going to Finland in January, and thanks to your video we now have a solid to-do list!

hot sauna = +70? hot sauna is more over +100°C :D

[@BackPackerSteve]

Well..in that case it took some time to heat it up..so we started with 70°. In the gondola we had 100 from the beginning and there's no escape ;)

[@vGhost01]

ArktisVodka Joku amerikkalaine ku oli ollu saunassa, nii oli sanonu että 70C oli ollu niin kuumaa että tuntu että olis kuollu xD

[@Aurinkohirvi]

70C is is pleasant. Commonly sauna in Finland is heated from 70C to 90C. Hot sauna is over 100C degrees, I don't find it comfortable any more. What temperature is good depends on how big the steam room is and is it moist or dry air. I do hear that where it is not in the culture, and people don't do it so often, it's often left underheated, under 70C, which is a pity and a mistake. 40C - 60C barely makes you sweat.

[@tuunaes]

I get chills just from thinking 60C sauna... Would have to work up to get warm in that.

[@TarSnakedoom]

I'm from finland and i say it have to be 100 or 150, then i can go there.
