Living in Lapland | How People Live in the Arctic Heart of Finland | 4K Travel

Living in Lapland: how people make one of the darkest, coldest corners of Europe part of the happiest country in the world. 🇫🇮❄️ In this 4K travel documentary, we spend one winter in Finnish Lapland, from the first snow to the day the sun comes back: husky farms in Levi, a smoke sauna in Äkäslompolo, the northern lights over Saariselkä, the reindeer round-up in Inari, Christmas in Rovaniemi, an icebreaker on the frozen sea in Kemi, and the polar night in Utsjoki. Temperatures fall below minus thirty and in the far north the sun disappears for almost two months. So how do ordinary people actually live here, and why is Finland named the happiest country on Earth year after year?
