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.
