I think you understand David Attenborough, and there is something beyond voice itself that is magical: Attenborough's inquisitiveness and yours, ... I haven't found a word for it, but I am going to find out. I am wondering, what if you use the same trick in a political debate? That's a crazy idea for sure.

[@junehitchcock170]

Thank you. I have planning to go there with grandkids. Very useful info.

[@daveramsaysmith1635]

What an excellent Promo Video for a Finnish Winter Holiday !

[@LaureninGermany]

This was absolutely wonderful. I have to admit, I actually called out to my husband and teared up when you showed that you had seen the lights! And for some reason, sending a postcard stamped from the Artic circle is just magical. Merry Christmas and thank you for all the inspiring videos this year. They have really made me want to see more of the world.

[@april7_]

I think also it is a rarety. I live in middle of Finland and here it may be seen couple of times in winter, but not as bright as in north. We have been in rental cabins north about 4 times now one week period a time and never seen Aurora borealis and the reason is cloudy or snowy weather, so if you head here to Lapland it is a rare to see it!

[@punkkumies1283]

finland is a winter wonderland

[@JimNicholls]

Most people pick somewhere warm for a winter break, but by doing the opposite you clearly had a wonderful time and produced a great video, packed full of interest. Thank you, and have a great Christmas!

[@MemorySeekers]

Oh we love a cold winter holiday with a fire and all that! It was amazing. Happy Christmas Jim 🎅

[@alisab3041]

Thanks for this atmospheric video; the crunching snow, in the soft gray light, made me feel like I was walking beside you. SO happy you finally got the aurora borealis shots - beautiful! This feels like a Christmas gift from your channel - wishing a Happy Christmas to you both!

Really well done, and much of it beautiful. Just what I needed this morning. Thank you.

[@MemorySeekers]

You are so welcome!

[@mikrokupu]

Great to see my childhood Lapland through visitors eyes, thanks! The British visitors typically visit Lapland around Christmas, while Finns like to travel to north later in spring, often around Eastern. There are much more day light available then, it's less cold usually and still plenty of snow left around March-April.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for sharing we would like to come back around the times you mention and maybe even try a summer trip. So beautiful as you head north.

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

Yeah, there's actually a lot more snow in March-April. Snow accumulates whole winter and peaks at around April in Lapland and a bit earlier around March elsewhere.

[@Jcool721]

Thank you sir! I watched every minute of the video. You did a very nice cut and excellent commentary.

Cold but magical, the aurora borealis being the icing on the cake. What an amazing country but couldn't imagine living in the cold and short days. Thank you so much for the trips I have enjoyed with you both over the year. Have a fun Christmas and New Year. =-)

[@MemorySeekers]

I agree it was fine for a few days but would not like such short days all the time and snow for 6 months. The novelty would soon wear off! Happy Christmas 🎅

[@HannuPulkkinen49]

@@MemorySeekers Your video is informative and well done. Stands out from the videos of many tourists. The dark time in Lapland lasts a few weeks at most, and in southern Finland only days. There is snow in Lapland for 4-6 months and in March-April the sun shines full of the sky. Winter is a great time. Finnish summers are warm and the sun shines 24 hours a day in midsummer.
