As you might notice if you type Saariselkä into Google, I was well above the Arctic Circle. This marks my first time being above the Arctic Circle, and I spent almost 72 hours up there.
We timed the trip perfectly with the changing of the leaves. The whole area was a beautiful golden colour with little patches of orange and green and occasionally red. There were moments during the hiking that I would have to stop, look around me and say "wow, I'm really here. This is really happening."
I am so thankful that I had to opportunity to experience such beauty, and am forever thankful of my amazing host family.
We were visited by a lovely group of birds that were perfectly alright with sharing Elias' food.
