Up To the Circle -Rovaniemi, Lapland

Still dark when I arrive in Rovaniemi, Lapland in northern Finland. Here, the Arctic Circle runs through the city. Being so far north, the area does not get much daylight during the winter. However, it does not stay totally dark during a winter day. There is usually about 16 to 18 hours of night and 6 to 8 hours of twilight around the winter solstice.
