    Thousands of tourists? In northern Finland this time of year?

    This is the experience they came for.

      Indeed, if you don’t want to experience cold, maybe travel elsewhere than to Lapland in the middle of winter lol

      there is a big push among rich tourists to go to exotic cold places. arctic, antartica, everest, patagonia, etc.

      they excuse is ‘i have to see it before climate change ruins it’.

      of course, they are the ones accelerating climate change the most… dumping tons of cO2 and garbage all over these ecologically senstive areas… so the can get that selfie with a penguin

    The temperature at the airport dropped to minus 37 degrees Celsius (minus 34.6 degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday morning, after several days of similar frigid weather, making de-icing of aircraft and other operations difficult,

    Then, at the very end of the article there follows a small, slightly unrelated information:

    In Germany, train passengers were still experiencing long delays and cancellations Sunday after rail operator Deutsche Bahn shut down all service in the north of the country on Friday due to strong snowfall.

    Germany is so embarrassing sometimes.

    I recently watched a game show on Netflix where someone won a trip to Finland. Wonder if they’re there now
