The Arctic summer is rich in colour. Dandelions have many medicinal benefits. The petals are also used to make wine and digestive teas. Due to the slow start to summer up here, the dandelions flowered on mass, creating a golden spectacle.

It's warming up!

Whisks or Whips?

Picture
Summertime is saunatime. New birch leaves are used to make 'whisks' for an authentic Finnish sauna experience. When you heat up the leaves in the sauna and then use them to 'beat' yourself or your sauna companion, it releases scented oils which heal the body and soul. 

White night period.

11°.
Partly cloudy, light rain.

    Arctic Blog

    Our blog has become an almost daily diary for Arctic Frontier. See the changing seasons, check out the aurora conditions and click on our archive to get an idea of what to expect when you come to Levi.

    We share moments of our lives, some photography tips and reveal the beauty of the Arctic environment that we live in.


    The photographs show the time of season, and most images are taken near the time of the post. The pictures highlight not only the beauty of the Northern Lights, but also the landscape they shine upon. ​
