Arjeplog to Jokkmokk

The Arctic Circle!!! Cruising into the Arctic circle today was a bit of a ceremony ... figuratively and literally. Due to the tilt of the earth, the position of the Arctic circle is moving about 15 metres north every year. No bother ... we found it!! There is a bit of hoo-ha when you get there, a little welcome from some of the Sami people, and a certificate to prove it. I thought it was quite the thing!! To top it off, it was 27° when we got there (it can get to 30°+) but the temp drops as low as minus 47° in the deep winter. That's almost an 80 degree difference!! We are now in Jokkmokk, have visited yet another museum (Samara is just loving that!), a church (she loves that even more) and are almost ready for a walk around another beautiful lake. Life is good!Read more
