 At 10:00 begins our tour... |
 Sledge dogs waiting eagerly to get out of the cages... |
 The sky is half bright but colorful... |
 Dogs are taken to the line, so that they can prepare for the journey... |
 A sledge dog is much smaller than I thought, but quite strong... |
 Once the dogs are in position, brakes must be controlled... |
 Sledge tour into the forest... |
 Evening clouds seen on the way... |
 The untouched, deep snow... |
 Second half of the journey - snow mobiles... |
 End of our journey... |
 Travel guide gentlly releases the dogs from the sledge, and gives them food... |
 Sledge dogs love snow, they eat and play around on snow... |
 In front of us is a river, not yet frozen, the huts lie on the other side... |
 At 13:30, the evening has come, and it's getting dark... |
 Taking the air raft to cross the river... |
 Wood is needed for the huts, sauna and BBQ. Sawing.... |
 Chopping... |
 Warm BBQ hut.... |
 Fireplace, fully in use... |
 Ruldoph, the reindeer... |
 After dinner, time for the Sauna... |
 We slept in this warm hut, where heat is supplied automatically... |
 Some slept here, a typical Lappish Hut, where they have to make Fire themselves |
 Morning light... |
 Morning clouds? or evening clouds? |
 Our neighbors across the river... |
 A hut under the pink sky... |
 A very cold day, steam coming from the ice-cold water... |
 For years untouched snow... |
 Playing snow-slipping... |
 At 15:00, time to leave. A very cold day, temperature -18C... |
 Again the nice sledge dogs help us to get home... |
