Frozen in Time: Lake Inari, Finland
Lake Inari is the third-largest lake in Finland, located in the northernmost part of Finnish Lapland. The lake is surrounded by a vast wilderness area of fells, rivers, and forests, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking and fishing. I took this photo in March, when the lake is completely frozen, allowing my group to traverse the lake on cross-country skis.
The lake boasts thousands of islands, one of which we were fortunate enough to rent a hut on. For an entire week, we had the entire island to ourselves. To access fresh water, we had to break through the ice on the lake and collect it in a bucket. We even had a wood-fired sauna there!
