This is Swedish Lapland. Laying inside the Arctic Circle, it’s Europe’s last remaining wilderness and the heartland of the tough, indigenous Sámi people. This area can experience day time temperatures as low as -20 degrees and the days are short.
You’re standing in snow, surrounded by seemingly endless pine forests scattered with vast frozen lakes. White-capped mountains dominate the horizon. All around you is silent and peaceful broken only by the crunch of your steps in the snow as you make your way through 230km of this UNESCO world heritage area. When darkness descends at the end of each day you will feel like the only person on the planet.
This is the Ice Ultra.
Many thanks to Ryan Lovejoy for braving the cold to capture this amazing video.
