🫣Clean up on aisle 12! It’s amazing how far 50ml of pouring cream can go in a fridge on a bouncy road.

🚐Now sat in a forest carpark…alone…nothing new there then!

🐺Will explore Wolf’s cave tomorrow…as long as it stays there tonight!

❓Are we sounding weird on our Lapland video- well, weirder than usual that is!

😂Thanks to Andy Russell for letting us know that an American lady has taken over both our voices on some devices.

🫣Long story, but our YT studio (where we upload videos) gained a glitch ages ago when we tried to help out a Turkish man who wanted to watch our video with subtitles in Turkish.

🇹🇷Now, every video I upload defaults to Turkish as the language and I have to manually change it to English- and I missed this one!

🦃Some devices, have settings set to recognise this ‘Turkish’ and autodub- to remove it go to your settings and change the audio to Turkish- I know- sounds crazy, but now your device will stop auto dubbing and you’ll get to listen to our dulcet tones for real!

In this vlog we are back in Finland (after a few days in Norway) to explore the western half of Lapland. We are on the search for reindeer, visit another Nat...

🤔Today we have been learning about isostatic uplifting!

❤️Never heard of it before but it’s why the Kvarken Archipelago is part of a joint UNESCO heritage site with the High Coast across the water in Sweden.

🌍This land in Finland is rebounding…ie rising…at about 1cm/year, creating new land, because of isostatic uplifting. It’s the place in the world where this process is the fastest! Harbours have had to be moved, with new land and habitats beingcreated, as the earth rights itself in its post glacial life.

🧊During the last iceage, 2km thick sheets of ice squished the earth’s crust towards the mantle. As the ice started to melt 10,000 years ago, the weight lifted and since then the crust has been rising to get back to its isostatic equilibrium with the mantle…which will take another 12-13,000 years to complete (it’s about 90% the way there as the process slows with time). Fascinating!

😳Last night we moved 0.027mm higher by my maths!

☄️Tonight, we are sleeping in the middle of a meteorite crater just outside Vassa- a 520 million year old parkup!

🙋‍♀️A few people have asked how we plan our trips-here’s an insight to my (Jane’s) highly sophisticated methodology!

😳Circles for weeks left…wiggly line to plan the route…ish

😂Simples!

❤️A brief but lovely Aurora last night.
🙏Ended up at #86 in the UK YouTube hype charts on our last video of Norway- many thanks
🪵A lovely walk around the Neristan area of Kokkola - lots of beautifully coloured wooden houses.
😜Andrew thought he was on a promise for tonight in a local cafe!
🚐Frosty roads as we head onto an island for the night.

🇫🇮Our Sunday in Finland.

🪩Picking out tiny sparkles of mica from the mat so I macro photograph them later!

🧺Laundry at the supermarket.

🌅A drive along a forest track to a beautiful harbour spot for the night to watch the sunset.

🤞We hopefully have the trifecta for tonight too…clear skies, a decent Aurora forecast and an uninterrupted view north across the sea. Fingers crossed!

❤️Hope your Sunday is just as great!

👩‍🚀A beautiful sunrise after which we donned our orange spacesuits and flew out into space for a quick fly through Jupiter’s gassy clouds and then came back down to Earth.

🚀Last night we stayed inside the UNESCO Impact Crater Lake Geopark at Lappajärvi and visited the free museum for our space ride and a look at various rocks and stuff.

☄️Lappajärvi is the world’s biggest crater lake and was created when a meteor hit Finland 77.8million years ago. We tried to lift a piece of a meteorite but it was really heavy!

🦺Today is Saturday, it’s moose hunting season, so we’ve seen a few orange jacketed hunters out doing their thing. Always seems sad, but if the moose weren’t culled (and it’s all heavily regulated and managed nationally) then humans and moose would really struggle to live together after a few years of moose mammas doing their thing!

🤞Needless to say, we are now sat in a woodland carpark, nature cam is out overnight and we remain ever hopeful. God loves a trier!

⏰We were up and away bright and early today and at Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve by 10am- that’s early for us to be organised, especially with full services done!

🐺The reserve is a protected area connected to Salamajärvi National Park, and is known for its wild, untouched forests and bogs, and as a habitat for species like the wolverine, Finnish forest reindeer, and wolves.

🙄Needless to say we saw nothing bigger than a hooded crow!

🥾A beautiful hike through the reserve though- totally quiet, lichen covering the Scots pine trees, mist across the water, boardwalks across the soggy bits. Perfect.

❤️After a quick shop and fuel fill we drove on to Crater Lake- a UNESCO Geopark.

😈More about that tomorrow you lucky devils.

🌭Parked up by a small river feeding the lake, waiting for the sky to light up later… if the clouds clear, with sausages ready for the fire pit…

⛅️We’ve just been having a chill day today- the sunshine has shown its face and we’ve had a little potter around the area.

😳But…this popped up in my FB feed and reminded me that we still have an animal to try to find before we leave Finland!

❤️Flying squirrels! Can’t wait to get to Espoo!

❌If you find a reindeer antler, you’re supposed to give it to the herder and they own it.

✅If you find a moose antler you can keep it, as the animal is wild.

🤔Not sure if the lady at the cafe would appreciate me claiming dibs on this one!

⛅️The sun came out today as we explored our 7th national park.

❤️This one is very special as it’s our chance to see reindeer again (I’ve been missing them since we left Lapland!).

🫶This area is home to the Wild Forest Reindeer, that are truly wild and are a different subspecies to their northern semi-domesticated Lapland relatives.

🥺They were hunted out of Finland many years ago, and continued to live in Russia. A few wandered back in the 50’s and since then there’s been a conservation project to establish a stable population in central Finland.

✅The zoos have been critical to providing founder animals to increase the genetic diversity of the population- we saw some at Ranua Zoo.

🫣That being said, they are very shy and there’s not that many of them (about 2000) across a massive area.

😂We didn’t see any today…

❤️Wow, made it to number 26 on the UK hype list before the 7 days was up on our last video- thanks guys!

🎻Today, did our 2nd UNESCO intangible Finnish heritage activity (the first being sauna!). Fiddle playing in Kaustinen!

🎻Fiddle playing is in this region is part of every day life, with the music being passed down from generation to generation and families, villages and communities coming together to play music.

🎻We visited the Folk Art Centre in Kaustinen, and had a private tour of the centre and fiddle museum (yes, we were the only ones there!).

🎻We got the chance to play the fiddle and the kantele (a kind of zither), listened to the various types of fiddle playing from across the region and saw the beautiful music hall.

🎻The music playing on this post if by the Finnish group F***g, who are very famous here!

💧The building has been built into the rocks which form the walls, so that when it rains or there is snow melt, the walls become waterfalls.

PS- the MH looks like it’s never been washed after just 1 day!
