Yesterday we went to the triple border, and it was amazing to see the lake when it is brave and you can feel this energy too. Then, when we´re walking back to the boat, a man came near and started to talk about the mountains and the lemmings. Maybe he could be a teacher or a [...]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of going on a field outing with researcher Maria Tuomi. We headed to the other side of the Saana mountain to the Saanajärvi area (or Saana Lake) where there was an experiment in progress to determine some of the possible effects of climate change on the area. We also visited [...]

By some accounts, everything above that latitude is considered the Arctic. However, others prefer to use the tree line to designate the Arctic. This is [...]

The last days were beautiful so I´ve decided to walk until the Norwegian border, a couple of kilometers from here. It was -12 but with the sun you don´t feel the cold at all. In this incredible nature everything looks so amazing that seems it´s posing for you every time. In this post I basically [...]
Today the day was beautiful and I decide to go out out and do some recording and think about temporal, since that´s I´m here for. I won´t be writing about my notes since it would become too long and not suitable for a post. I was just surprise to see how animals went out yesterday [...]
Since our condition as women are still terrible I decided to take a walk in the middle of the snowstorm as a metaphor for our lives . The wind is the only thing that bothers me because of the camera, but my wide angle lenses are not that great and if I have to change [...]
After a couple of sunny days we´re having snowstorm in Kilpisjärvi. I´ll leave you with some “before/after” pictures so you can have an idea of how landscape can change so quickly in one day. Today we just see the shapes of the trees and the houses. Everything else is in a same white tone.
