Taken by my second oldest daughter. In the picture is her little sister and a river called "Vaattunkiköngäs".

Arctic circle sounds so much different than that picture feels.

And I bet that river's name is a song title from Eläkeläiset.

I spent a couple of winters in Fairbanks Alaska, and was quite surprised with just how hot it gets up there in the summer, even as far north as the Arctic Circle.

In my time in Helsinki, I remember people complaining to me about how short the days are there and how they wish the days were longer. In the arctic circle, it must be so much shorter during the winter!

Kind of early to not see snow in that part of Finland, isn't it?
