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. The indigenous people of Lapland come from the 4 corners of Lapland to celebrate the culture and identity of this people in temperatures that can reach -30 ° C. More than 45,000 visitors over 3 days to discover the exhibitions of artists from the community, local crafts around fabric, animal skins, bone sculpture, reindeer antlers among others, jewelry."
"The event also offers reindeer races, religious celebrations and songs of Joik, the Sami song, are also planned during these 3 days of festivities. A community proud to wear traditional clothes in bright colors that are also included on their flag. A moment of sharing and a great opportunity to meet and discover the culture of this great people of the north. This was the 420th edition of the market this weekend in Jokkmokk, Sweden (Lapland, Scandinavia, Northern Europe)."

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. The indigenous people of Lapland come from the 4 corners of Lapland to celebrate the culture and identity of this people in temperatures that can reach -30 ° C. More than 45,000 visitors over 3 days to discover the exhibitions of artists from the community, local crafts around fabric, animal skins, bone sculpture, reindeer antlers among others, jewelry."
"The event also offers reindeer races, religious celebrations and songs of Joik, the Sami song, are also planned during these 3 days of festivities. A community proud to wear traditional clothes in bright colors that are also included on their flag. A moment of sharing and a great opportunity to meet and discover the culture of this great people of the north. This was the 420th edition of the market this weekend in Jokkmokk, Sweden (Lapland, Scandinavia, Northern Europe)."

BRR-EEZING DOWN THE HIGHWAY! Aerial views show a freshly snow-covered road connecting multiple archipelagos. The roads tie a number of isolated hamlets situated on various islands near Luleå on the Gulf of Bothnia, Swedish Arctic Circle.
Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, “There are a few isolated hamlets that are only connected to the mainland by this road in winter. In winter, the Baltic Sea freezes over hundreds of square kilometres and these archipelagos, which are normally connected to the continent by small boats, find themselves isolated for several months.”
The road is rarely used by the public during the winter months, making it a very isolated route. The ice, more than 80cm thick, is partly covered with a layer of snow that makes driving easier but vehicles need to be equipped with snow or studded tyres.”

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)

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)
