Bloggers Guide to Arctic Finland - Paperback

by Victor Leinonen (Author)

The Bloggers Guide To Arctic Finland is a compilation of the author's blog articles over 10 years. The first blog that Victor started was way back in 2009. That early blog was named Nordic Cuisine Focus. The blog content covers 12-holiday destinations in the Arctic Finland region that Victor enjoyed visiting, working at, photographing, and writing content on and publishing. The articles were focused mainly on the natural Nordic environment, Finland, regional produce, ingredients, nature, traditional culture, and cuisine.

Finland's documented history of the last 1000 years is a fascinating resource to learn more about the people of the Nordic region. Finland has 600 years of modern history, 400 years under the rule of Swedish kings, 100 years under Russian rule, and 100 years of coexistence with Soviet Russia. The collective time that Finland's people have served under these foreign rulers for 500 years was never invited or voluntary.

Victor writes about 12 Arctic Finland travel destinations where he has worked, skied, snowboarded, trekked, traveled, and photographed. A brief layout of Lapland municipalities is included, with West, East, North, and central Rovaniemi, Lapland. There are many Nordic cuisine-related pictures, travel routes, location maps, historical facts, and traditional Nordic Cuisine flavor recipes.

A fascinating story with pictures and maps of how the 1939-1940 Baltic Sea blockade was diverted via the Arctic Sea Route to the Port of Petsamo in Arctic Finland supplies the city Rovaniemi. From there distributed throughout Finland and Sweden.
