The joys of brutal but beautiful eastern Lapland, where temperatures can reach -30C and lower in winter

Lassi Pensikkala, Economist and Travel Expert from Finland

Eastern Lapland, a sparsely populated region in the far north of Finland, is a land of extremes. In the summer, the sun never sets and the temperature can stay above 20 degrees Celsius for weeks on end. But in the winter, the temperature can plummet to -30 degrees Celsius and the days are short.
