Lapland Highlights: Myllykoski rapids and Oulanka National Park

Pancake ice, as whimsical as its name suggests, is a remarkable sight that often appears in the icy waters of polar regions during the winter months. These circular ice discs resemble oversized pancakes floating on the surface.

Driving Finnish Regional Road 955 from Sirkka to Inari

One of the highlights of our winter road trip through Finnish Lapland was the drive from Levi/Sirkka to Saariselkä. Since we had planned to stop at the Sami Museum in Inari, we decided to take the less busy route via Inari instead of driving down to Sodankylä and taking the wider and busier E75.
