Yes. Especially if I was doing all those delightful adventures. And I would do the adventures you did. Horse riding at 11:00 pm. This is one of my favorite videos of yours. It was so diverse and included many pretty scenes, animals, water fun, hikes, rides, cafes, the 24hr experiences, your beauty and gentleness, sharing information, nicely paced. I know you did a lot of patience work to get this produced. I wish I could go on the same trip you did. Thank you.

First of all - thanks so much Alice for your wonderful video with highlights of Finnish Lapland at midsummer! Glad you enjoyed your adventures - welcome back another time for further explorations! Now as to your question, you surely noticed that the sun doesn't shine directly from above at night, rather it circles just above the horizon. But yes, at these "high" latitudes the annual cycle does present challenges of adjustment for biorythms and life. Midwinter is a low energy time when there is little or no sunlight in northern Lapland as opposed to midsummer with lots of energy and time to enjoy the great outdoors. Even in SW Finland where I live it can be difficult at first to fall asleep in May, until one adapts to the greatly increasing sunlight and few hours of twilight.

Yes because I live here 😀 I do feel you didn’t get to experience local Lapland for that you need to go further North. Huskies are not native here so they are loathed by many as the farms expanded due to tourism.

As a Finn, I have to say that your video is a better ad for Finland than the locals can ever do. Note that if you visit these same places in the middle of Winter, there will be zero sun visible. It's not totally dark all the time, though, because sunlight still bounces around in the atmosphere. It's like a multi-hour dusk directly following a multi-hour dawn and then a full night again.

That was a really good video. I especially liked the way you handled the horses. You didn't try to touch their faces (as lovely they are, but they hate it - just like humans would). Instead you caressed them by carefully touching their necks and shoulders - which they absolutely love. Horse whisperer, you :)

Just as a fun fact, Finland doesn't actually have any real "mountains" per se, instead the scenery is littered with fells like Levi. Once upon a time they were as high as the alps but have been eroded by glaciers and other factors to a fraction of their original glory. The ground around Levi and most of the other fells in the North is 1.9 billion years old, while for example the alps are only 65 million years old.

I didn't watch the entire video but if she didn't mention the "menace of summer", the huge amount of blood thirsty mosquitoes, well, be warned that they will hamper much of the activity, especially when evening falls...! It might look pretty outside but you wouldn't really want to venture outside for a long time at any cost, lol... Mosquito spray and special mosquito hats with a net surrounding the head are an absolute must! And you still have to endure the constant horrible noise they generate around you. Ugh! The best time to visit Lapland is AFTER the midnight sun-period, towards the end of July and early September with the fall foliage.
