Our holidays are based along the official Northern Lights Route, meaning that the chances of your holiday being blessed by the Aurora Borealis are higher than anywhere! What could be a better ending to an exhilarating day in the snow than stepping out into the night to see the enchanting swirls of greens and pinks dancing through the Arctic skies? The Official Northern Norway Lights Route Kilpisjarvi Karesuando is located directly on the official Northern Lights Route – a stretch of road leading from Tromso in the north of Norway to the Bay of Bothnia. The route is officially designated as such Karesuando by the governments of Finland, Norway, Sweden Hetta and the Sami Parliament since it is one of the best Enontekio areas in the world to watch the Aurora. The lack of commercial city life nearby means that light pollution is virtually non-existent, and so the intensity of the Aurora appears greater than it would in cities such as Rovaniemi or Reykjavik. Sweden Finland The Northern Lights Also known as the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights are a mirror of cosmic forces at play on the Sun, 93 million miles away. Each brilliant display can be traced to a titanic explosion on the surface of our nearest star. Each solar flare explosion is extraordinary. It releases a billion times the energy of an atomic bomb and usually rips away a giant swathe of the Sun’s atmosphere. This cloud of smashed atoms hurtles through space, seething with electrical and magnetic forces. Most disappear harmlessly into deep space but a small fraction head directly towards Earth. If one does strike us, the particles are deflected into the Polar Regions by our planet’s natural cloak of magnetism. At the end of this magnetic funnel, they strike our atmosphere causing the atoms we breathe to glow, turning the sky into a theatre of light. The Northern Lights are one of the true wonders of the natural world. 6 VISIT WWW.TRANSUN.CO.UK | CALL 01865 265200 | OR VISIT YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT Finland Adventures in the Arctic Escapades Beyond the Arctic Circle Your Arctic Spirit holiday may include a host of exhilirating Arctic activities for you to enjoy. Many of these popular activities have developed from traditions over several generations, where as some are relatively new to Lapland. Here's what you need to know about the best of them... Pals with Paws What better way to traverse the Arctic tundra than by your very own team of eager huskies? Originally bred as working dogs, Alaskan huskies, as the name implies, came from North America and their romantic adventurism was famed in Jack London’s short novel Call of the Wild. Along with their Siberian cousins, huskies started to be used for more recreational purposes in Lapland from the 1960s, and there are now an estimated 4,000 huskies in the region, just waiting to guide you across frozen lakes and silent forests.

On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications.

  • Local Environmental Observer Network
    Local Environmental Observer Network the eyes, ears and voice of environmental change Our world is changing rapidly, and local observers can detect subtle changes in weather, landscapes and seascapes, and in plant and animal communities. The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) developed the LEO Network in 2009, recognizing the value of local and traditional knowledge and the need for a tool to document and share environmental observations. The purpose was to increase awareness about vulnerabilities and impacts from climate change, and to connect community members with technical experts. LEO uses web-accessible Google Maps to display observations of unusual or unique environmental events which are then shared with LEO members. The maps contain event descriptions, photos, expert consultations and links to information resources. LEO has grown to include hundreds of participants and is helping to increase understanding about the emerging effects of climate change. CIRCUMPOLAR LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL OBSERVER NETWORK (CLEO) Under the U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic Council (AC), partners in the Council’s Arctic Contaminants Action Programme (ACAP) workgroup and its subsidiary Indigenous Peoples Contaminants Action Programme (IPCAP) are building on the success of the LEO network in Alaska and developing the foundation for a Circumpolar Local Environmental Observer (CLEO) network. Using funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation, ACAP IPCAP members are working with communities in western Canada to establish new LEO observer communities and regional hubs that would lead to a North American regional CLEO network. Following the successful development of a CLEO chapter in North America, project partners will develop a framework for expanding the CLEO Network into other areas of the Arctic.
