Polar night - Kaamos

    It is the polar night, kaamos. The sun won't rise over the horizon until spring. It is 30º C below but the Muonio river rapids at Äijänkoski are still open. The river forms the border between Finland and Sweden. Sweden is on the other side.

    Äijäkoski, Muonio, Lapland, Finland, December 2001

      yes, I like it too although I don't like the chill, but that's what we have to expect for a couple of months now. Beautiful!
