    Being a native Finn, I can 100% sign up with everything Jonna says on her video. I love the constantly changing seasons here, allthough the contrast in the light conditions are not that drastic than in the those parts of Sweden where Jonna lives (which is around 500-800km more north than where i live here in Finland) but they still are very distinct from one another. Summers can get sometimes quite hot here too, and the winters are sometimes freezing. Swedish nature is very similar to Finnish one, except they have more actual mountains in the north than Finland has. You should react some Finnish Lappland (or Lappland in general) i am sure you would love it!

    This was an insanely beautiful video with amazing landscapes and light. Even in the Netherlands we have quite a substantial difference between the amount of light in summer and winter. Many people from more southern regions are always surprised how long the sun is out in summer. Around the winter equinox we have less than 8 hours (8.45am - 16.30pm) and at the summer equinox it’s over 16 hours (5.20am-22.05pm). Of course, this is nothing compared to northern Scandinavia which I would really love to experience sometime.

    The changing of the seasons is wonderful. It makes you feel alive. First snow can be breathtaking. We can have dazzling copper golden leaves clad in snow, and with snow on the ground under gentle light. Autumn is wonderful, when you pick up rich fragrances. Spring is very nice, when you can detect southern winds and a new kind of air. And summer is absolutely fantastic. I don't think anyone can explain it, but it is an endless season of joy.

    My friend was born and raised in Sweden. She would talk how her dad in the winter would ice-skate to work over the lake (he worked on the otherside of it where they lived). How they would play on an evening on it, hockey etc. On Christmas day, a "santa" would come and give presents to all the children in the village (men would volunteer to go door to door to do this). In the summer, she would have amazing weather, kids would play outside without fear, big community spirit. Then she moved to Stockton-on-Tees in North East England, and the first time her dad took her into the town centre she saw a woman in a dress weeing whilst sat on a bench. None of us know why she's still here, 18 years on 🤣

    No, you are not far north in USA. Except in Alaska. 🙂 Also notice there is a huge difference between north and south of Sweden. Which one notice when one travels between the north and south parts during summer or winter. The water is not especially cold during the summer. It could be around 20 degree Celcius during summer. About the stars, even close to cities in north Sweden, you can't see stars that well. It all about how much electrical lights are close. (Fun Fact. Celcius is named after the Swedish scientist Anders Celcius) Fair skin IS an adaption to less light during winter. And in Scandinavia we also have adopted to drinking milk from animals. Some Inuits have also adopted to eat more meat, as vegetables is hard for them to get. Vitamin D can be stored in the body or for a long time, so what you produce during summer from the sun light will be enough to pass the winter. It is when you are not out enough during summer when it is a problem, or have dark skin, then you need supplement of D-vitamin.

    I go to Iceland twice a year in winter (normally November and March). People don't understand how I can go back, year after year. But to me, it goes back to my childhood. As a kid in England, we had tons of snow. I can remember every evening, my dad would finish work, my mum would have made him a sandwich for tea and whilst eating it, he'd take my sister and I out on sledges, running up and down the road. We'd meet up with our cousin, have snowball fights. Honestly some of the best times of my life. We don't get snow like that anymore, and so I go to Iceland for it. One day, I'll go to Sweden. But Iceland is just so easy to traverse I worry that Sweden would be too difficult for me (for reference, I've driven no more than 20miles down the road in England, but have driven the full island of Iceland in winter).

The mountain videos are from her cabin in the northern hills of the Scandic mountains, it´s beautiful both in winter and summer (easier access in summer if you´re not at nerd of go skiing or drive snowmobile). 1) Gooseberry 2) Red currants Meat you can buy in the stores or from local breeders. Here, up north a lot of us are hunting and fishing. My hubby hunts for moose and sometimes he also get a goose or wood-grouse and I fish a lot, mostly pike and perch but there is also trout and graylings in our river. No green screen...all natural filming! Wintertime can be hard to outlive, especially now when I getting older and have issues with my body, joints aching and so on but I still love all of our seasons. Wintertime is for resting and planning for spring and summer, for me big growing seasons getting veggies and berries for harvesting and eating the next winter. Early to late autumn is season for fishing, hunting, picking berries (the "picker" is great) - blueberries, lingonberries, cloudberries and maybe some cranberries and of course get some mushrooms. Then i Januari o later on the seed season starts, seeding and pre-grow for chili/peppers, tomatoes and so on until I can plant it in the garden i the middle of June when the last frost has gone by.

From the mid-19th century to the early 1920s, approximately 1.5 million Swedes left Sweden and moved to the United States. Is there places with names that could be from Sweden? Or many people with the name as Anderson, Svensson or any other name that ends with sson or son? Thanks for your videos! I am really enjoying them! Cheers from Göteborg/Gothenburg!

    Those green fruits that you said looked like a mix between a grape and a watermelon are gooseberries (Ribes uva-crispa). They are in the same family as blackcurrants and redcurrants, and they are a very common bush to have in scandinavian gardens as they are very hardy, and can be used to make jams and stuff. The taste is kinda like a less tart redcurrant. The bush is similar to a redcurrant bush, but lower to the ground, with thorny branches. The older types used to have smaller and more ‘’hairy’’ fruits, while the newest varieties have bigger and smoother ones. They are most commonly green, red, purple or yellow in color.

    Yes, you are correct Connor that humans have not yet fully adapted physically to the conditions here in the north. However, I did read about a scientific study which found that here in Finland there are least deaths when the average daily temperature is +14 degrees Celsius whereas in Spain there are least deaths when the average daily temperature is +26 degrees Celsius. Also, fair skin requires less exposure to sunlight for producing vitamin D compared to black skin. It would be interesting to investigate if there is a correlation between eye color and depression during winter. For example, the reindeer change their eye color with the change of seasons: during the winter they are blue and during the summer brown. For me personally, summers with long periods of sun and high air pressure are almost unbearable, whereas I have never felt depressed during the rainy / snowy seasons of gray autumn and dark winter.

    I live in Stockholm (much to the south) and still, every winter we get periods of a month or more without sunshine because of low sun and clouds all the time. So when she says "it feels like you see the sun for the first time in your life", I can attest to that. The feeling is hard to describe. It gives you sense of life, which feels familiar, yet very far from where you have been. Must sound stupid, but I am not a poet hey

    I agree with what most of the comments have said about how nice it is when the seasons change and everything. But honestly, after a month or so of darkness - most just get depressed and more introvert and can't wait until spring when "life begins again". Sweden is like two completely different countries, one in the winter and another in the summer. In the summer everyone is friendly, happy, enjoying life and making the most of the sun light. In the winter, pretty much the opposite. Sometimes I genuinely feel like it was a mistake of humanity to settle this far north. Sure, it's beautiful but like right now... it's starting to get dark and it just makes me sad. But then when/if we get real thick white snow, that brightens thing up a bit. People forget that. The little light that is reflects on all the white. Unfortunately we barely get any snow anymore except far north. Instead we just get this grey wet sludge, combined with the darkness. Except far far up north obviously, but that's not where the average Swede lives. I remember as a kid, -25, -30 was normal and plenty of snow almost every year. And it's not just me romantisizing my childhood - at New Years it used to be that you could secure your fireworks in the snow, it was usually so much snow the stick of the rockets didn't even touch the ground. That was normal. These days we're happy to just have some snow around Christmas. The climate has changed so much.

All lot of what she shows of is unfortunately not true for our major cities, sorry to say that winter is a bit of pain without northern lights, starlight and a rather persistent cloud cover, yes winter is really dark. By then again it rains a lot less in the Stockholm region than in Norway in general, thank god for those Norwegian mountains, that’s at least something! 😂
