You don’t have to be a dog lover to love the Huskies. In fact these Arctic dogs are not really dogs in the true sense. They have a wolf ancestry and similar domination fights, some of which are so vicious that they end in a bloody death. However they are surprisingly benign to humans. For that reason they make very poor guard dogs for they will fawn and wag their busy tails for any stranger.

There is a long queue to meet this jolly old man from the Arctic. The only other person in the room with him is a photographer who shoots your picture with him and you get it instantly at the reception downstairs.

This is a fancy museum in Rovaniemi that gives you a good idea of Finnish history but also how people lived in the Arctic. The Northern Lights presentation on the ceiling while you lie on an inclined floor is good.

These heavy duty but brisk trucks are put to use immediately so that every road is clear for driving.
