Ski crossing on the frozen Baltic Sea
Introduction to the polar travel in Lapland.
Trip ideal to have a first contact with the wintery Arctic. 6 days of walking on skis near the Arctic Circle. During the voyage we will sleep in, tents learning to live at 30 degrees below zero in a place where the Northern Lights are not an isolated phenomenon.
In our journey we become familiar with the equipment and expedition techniques and Arctic survival. Methods of protection against the cold, Inuit techniques of orientation, compass navigation, GPS positioning systems and other knowledge that may be useful in later expeditions.
A quiet place of the coast, near the Finnish village called Ii, will be our starting point. Skiing through the Baltic Sea and camping on the sea ice or in some of the many islands that dot this frozen sea we will reach our goal, the Lapish city of Kemi, situated on the northern edge of the frozen Gulf of Bothnia.
