Polar Circle Point
Sweden
The Arctic Circle is the southern latitude where the midnight sun can be seen at the summer solstice.
During a period of 40,000 years the Arctic Circle moves southwards and northwards within an area 180 km wide (A). During a period of 18,6 years, it also moves within an area 570 m wide (B).
The Arctic Circle will reach its northernmost position in the year 12,000, return here in 22,000, to reach its southernmost position in 32,000 and so forth.

We are now in Sweden. On the other side of the river we can see Finland. Tornionjoki River defines the border between Finland and Sweden.
After Keminmaan we cross the bridge after Ylitornio to visit Arctic Circle in Sweden.

Departure: Jyväskylä
Destination: Keminmaan
In the old times Keminmaan was more important than Kemi because of its water proximity. When the sea went down Kemi was founded and became the main place.
Kemi has the world's largest snow castle. You also can have a good time spending a night at the Mammut Snow Hotel where the temperature in the hotel rooms is a crisp -5 degrees, but you nevertheless sleep warm in a Ajungilak sleeping bag:)

Spy Museum
Spy Museum in Tampere
Spy Museum's exhibition gives a good cross-section about world wide espionage.
The collection includes items from western and eastern organizations.
From KGB we have spy cameras, a PSM-pistol which can pierce a bulletproof vest, an agent cape, a series of classified maps and a portable microfilm device from the 1980's.
