Description
Journey across Lapland's captivating fells in this visually stunning expedition that takes viewers on an extraordinary odyssey through untamed and harsh wilderness. Witness the raw power and resilience of nature in one of the world's most extreme environments.
Available as a 1x90' film or 3x30' series, Arctic Wildlife in Lapland explores the origins of these iconic hills and mountains, sculpted by glaciers and extreme weather over millennia. Marvel at the stark contrast of the polar night and the mesmerizing spectacle of the northern lights, and witness nature’s spring awakening from the harsh Arctic winter.
Experience the magic of the midnight sun, as Lapland's short summer comes alive with a vibrant array of wildlife and flora, including reindeer, bears, wolverines, foxes, voles, eagles, owls, ruffs, and the Siberian jay.
As summer wanes, the glorious colors of "ruska" are celebrated as Lapland's autumn sweeps across the fells. Follow the awe-inspiring salmon and trout spawning run in the Teno River, and venture to the edge of the Arctic Ocean, where stunning bird islands rise from the icy waters, revealing a hidden world beneath the surface teeming with life.
The series expands this journey into three episodes: Genesis of the Arctic, Animals and Plants in Lapland's Summer, and Autumn Colors, Teno River Salmon and the Shores of the Arctic Ocean. Arctic Wildlife in Lapland offers an immersive experience in the heart of one of the world's last true wildernesses, stretching across the northernmost parts of Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia.
