THE JOURNEY
The Scandinavian Arctic is not just a destination of spectacular nature. It is a territory where the Sami peoples have lived for over 10,000 years, where the northern lights were interpreted by different cultures as messages from the gods, and where the polar winter shaped unique forms of social organisation, spirituality and relationship with the environment. This expedition travels through Tromsø, the Lofoten Islands, Inari and Rovaniemi seeking to understand what it means to live at the very edge of the habitable world.
