Sugar Candies and the Arctic Art

15 Sep. 2006 Urho Kekkonen National Park to Sodankyla

The next morning was beautiful and freezing. We had some time until the time we were supposed to leave, so we again went out for a short hiking for an hour. Well, actually it was frozen. Leaves were covered with frost. They looked like sugar candies.




We wanted to see other part of Lapland, so we went down south. We booked a youth hostel with the dairy farm called Visatupa. We traveled by bus, so we needed to find a place accessible without a car. We happened to find this place on the Net. The pictures on the site looked nice.

Going through the forests and lakes, we reached a town called Sodankyla.
The owner of the YH said, he could pick us up at the souvenir shop on the main road. So we asked the driver to stop at the souvenir shop shortly after passing Sodankyla. Where is the souvenir shop? Is it easy to find? I was wondering. Well, it must be…that one!



This is what so called… arctic art. Impressive!
