Starry Sky Stories - Night Walk in Arctic Nature
Finnish Lapland, FinlandThe starry sky is full of amazing stories. During this trip, you will learn to navigate according to the north star and hear stories about the mythological heroes running in the sky. You may find your own zodiac sign, spot the brightest star, and hear its many names in Arabic, Greek, and Sámi. We also see one star which is more than 600 times bigger than our own sun. It exploded into a supernova about 650 years ago (we now start to see the signs of an explosion here on earth). Northern lights may also appear in the sky during the trip. Then it’s nice to lie on your back with a reindeer skin, watch them dance up there in the sky and drink some warm cranberry juice.
Walking distance is max 2km and it takes 2 hours. Depending on snow conditions we walk with or without snowshoes. Star gazing can also be arranged at your preferred location, even at your own cabin.
