People are seen being pulled on sledges by reindeer as they race around a snowy track as part of the 420th event of its type. The long standing annual market held in Jokkmokk, Sweden, saw over 45,000 visitors to the bitterly cold region this weekend (7-9th Feb).
Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, "Jokkmokk is the second largest municipality in the country and yet it is also the least populated. 4900 inhabitants spread over a territory of 19500km2. b But Jokkmokk becomes every year, for a few days, the nerve center of an entire people settled in this region of the world for many millennia before the Vikings and the Scandinavians. Indeed, for more than 4 centuries, the great Sami market has been held in Jokkmokk, in the heart of Swedish Lapland.

PILLARS OF NORTHERN LIGHTS BY OLIVIER JARRY-LACOMBE
PILLARS OF NORTHERN LIGHTS! Recent solar activity across the Arctic regions has afforded some exceptional aerial phenomena caused by ice fog. Light pillars were spotted in the skies above Karesuvanto in Finland and Kiruna in Sweden this week.
Photographer, Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, “Sometimes, a thin layer of ice fog is present and it is then that an exceptional phenomenon can occur that is only visible in the Arctic or Antarctic polar territory, known as light pillars. A light pillar or ice pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and sometimes below a light source, over the entire height of the ice cloud.”
“The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere or that make up high-altitude clouds. Pillars of light can be caused by the Sun, Moon or terrestrial sources, such as street lights, vehicles and illuminated signs. And when you are very lucky, auroras and pillars of light come together for an exceptional spectacle.” (FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS)
