Fjällräven Polar 2017 – day 5: Sleeping under the Northern Lights
Yesterday evening we honestly thought it would be a really gentle night, but nothing is as it seems. When we woke up we found out that it had been -15ᵒC while we were asleep. No wonder our tent sticks were completely frozen.. Breaking down camp went a lot easier today. We fed the dogs, had breakfast, cleaned up after ourselves and packed our sleds within no time! Multitasking on a sled And before we knew it we were on our way again! Right before we left I got an extra passenger. Last night’s cameraman wanted to ride with me for a bit to talk about my thoughts and feelings on the…

Please help me get to the Arctic wilderness with Fjällräven Polar 2017!
Last January I left the northern part of Scandinavia with a very bad heart ache. After living in a fairytale for a week and experiencing the most amazing and touching adventures, we headed home. Back from minus 40 degrees to minus two degrees. The following weeks were pretty hard on me. Looking at the pictures we took during the week was physically hurtful and I tried to distract myself with lots of activities. I always knew that my heart belonged to Norway, but staring at the Northern Lights with snow up to my knees was the moment I realized: I was born in the wrong country. But the feeling of constantly…
