From the golden light of the Midnight Sun, North Cape, and the fishing village of Skarsvåg to an unexpectedly hot Arctic summer in Utsjoki, this journey took us along the Barents Sea and into the heart of Finnish Lapland, where we discovered Sámi culture, the Teno River, endless daylight and the irresistible pull of the Arctic.
For years, experiencing the Midnight Sun had been high on our travel wish list. Join us on a mother-and-daughter road trip through Arctic Norway and Finnish Lapland, from Ivalo and the Sámi heartlands to Tromsø, Alta, Hammerfest and Nordkapp. Along the way we discover spectacular fjords, reindeer roaming freely and the unique rhythm of life above the Arctic Circle. First part follows the road through three countries.
A road trip to Nordkapp, the northernmost point of Europe, where the sun refuses to set and summer nights turn into endless Arctic light. From dramatic fjords and underwater tunnels to King crab by the Barents Sea and a tiny fishing village at the edge of the world — this is a journey under the midnight sun.
