The NORTHERN MOST Point in Finland! (INSANE Northern Lights)

[@PukkaGeeeeee]

I was born in Rovaniemi, living in Oulu and have a cottage in Inari so your road trip this far has been the perfect 'view from outside of the box' for me :) Things that seem normal to me are special for you guys and it makes me appreciate my home more.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

I put a tent up in Tankavaara one time and woke up to some weird munching sound. I raised the zipper of my tent slightly and saw a reindeer tongue right there next to the zipper. So that's what the sound was - just a reindeer munching on some lichen growing next to the entrance to my tent. He/she let me out, no problem. I heard that this was a kind of local celeb reindeer at Tankavaara gold village. A regular visitor to the area.

It’s so funny to watch your road trip here! I was wondering when you filmed these auroras, how many days later you’re publishing these videos? It was quite magical night at October 8th also here in eastern Finland, about 1000 km south from Nuorgam! I took some pictures myself and saw so many beatiful aurora pictures all over social media after that night.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Most of them were posted a few weeks late :) so awesome you get to see all the beautiful auroras too!!

Nice! Fun fact: there are more lakes than people in the municipality of Inari. There are about 8000 lakes but 7000 inhabitants. And it is the largest municipality of the country with its 17333 square kilometers which is about 6700 square miles. A little smaller than Slovenia and about the size of Eswatini. This video gave me some memories because I drove the exact same route 3 years ago and at the same time of year. I'm happy that you saw so great northern lights again!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is amazing!! Such a great time of year to drive around.

[@SuviMatinaro]

The gas pumps are always open even though the station house might be closed. You just pay with a card or phone at the pump.

[@northernskies86]

Glad you guys got to see what a proper aurora show looks like! October 2024 was a super active month for the aurora and I saw them 3 times from California (yeah, you heard that right). Could see bright red pillars shooting up almost 30 degrees. I felt that same way when I saw the G5 (Kp 9) storm back in May this year from MN. They were so strong red and purple was the dominant color and I had to look south most of the night to see them. Solar maximum is awesome!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Wow! That’s awesome that you got to see so many Northern Lights! What an incredible experience!

[@SK-nw4ig]

Samis are also a part of uralic language group as finns are. Both finns and sami came thousands of years ago to these areas. Before sami people there were other cultures here which are now gone, but we have some words still in our languages that originate from those ancient, disappeared cultures.

The times I have been traveling this Oulu to Inari roads I can´t even count, so many times since my childhood. Seeing the roads, places I have been and traveled by, it´s so nice to see them again. It´s been couple years now that I was on road trip with my mom and my daughter. So I love to see you traveling the same roads. If you haven´t chose the road you come back down, I would say that travel at Norway near the icewater (jäämeri) or is it called Northern Atlantic. It´s so pretty.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

This is all so good to know!! Thank you so much for sharing :) we miss Finland already!

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Inari is a major reindeer herding region, so... The Lake Inari is the second largest Arctic lake in the world after Lake Hazen in Canada and second deepest in Finland-though for the most parts it's shallow. There's the Ukonsaari Island, which is a sacred holy Sámi worship place: "Inarijärvi, Ukko; Lake Inari, Lapland, Finland. イナリ湖". The name 'Inari' comes from the language spoken in the region before Uralic languages, which Sámi languages are part of. Couple of videos: "The ski-going people - Early history", "The Seal Hunters - the linguistic traces of ancient Scandinavia" and "The Sami people (from "The Winds of the Milky Way", 1977)".

[@GorgeousRandyFlamethrower-]

It feels so off and weird to hear people call our fells and vaaras "mountains" :D The Finnish word for a mountain is "vuori", and I don't think we technically have any. Fells are worn-down remnants of very, v e r y old mountains (talking hundreds of millions of years), and they're basically the hills in Lapland that are high enough that their slopes and summits are above the treeline. A vaara is sort of the same geologically speaking, but they're wholly below the tree line and are therefore covered in trees. It's kind of funny that if you drive to Norway via Enontekiö (past Lake Kilpisjärvi and Saana, the summit of which is the country's second highest point) towards Skibotn (in Norway), you start to see proper mountains only a few kilometers after you cross the border :D p.s. You might actually want to give Saana a try if you end up driving past there, it's right next to the main road and there's a popular walking trail that leads to the top.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Hahaha you are probably right, they are more like hills!! Thanks so much for your comment :)

[@tuijasaari1463]

There’s a cave of ice by the lake Inari. It’s been there since the last ice-age and never melts (I hope the climate change won’t affect it). One can visit it by a boat. Pity, you didn’t see that. Yes, the Sámis still inhabit Lapland. The land of the Sámis is called Sápmi and you passed the border to Sápmi when you drove through little village called Vuotso (Vuocchu in Sámish, 80 km north from Sodankylä).

[@hallvard74]

The marker next to the border is not the real northernmost point in Finland. You have to walk the path down to the river and then go slightly to the west, then on the river bank is the real northernmost point.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Ah dang haha! That is good to know. Thank you for the information!

The Sami large scale reindeer herding is relatively new economy dating to the 14th century. The area of Sami cultures were so vast they developed into different languages & ethnicities. Also the societies were different eg the Skolt Samis or Luleå Samis. Today, the Samis are different not mutually understood languages, religions & some eg the Kola Peninsula Samis virtually extinct. -This will flame up the ethnonationalists:)
