Wonders of Northern Europe

Lapland (1x2)

Air date: Jan 01, 2019

Located beyond the Arctic Circle, Lapland spans several hundred thousand square kilometers, straddling Norway, Sweden and Finland. In the west and north, along the Norwegian coast, it stretches into thousands of islets. Crossing the barrier of the Scandinavian Alps, it reveals landscapes of forest and ice, winter sometimes lasting almost eight months. Tucked away under a thick white coat, these often desert areas are the territory of the Sami, the only indigenous people in Europe, and, especially since the 17th century, that of the Finns and other Scandinavians who gradually settled there.
