内容説明

Now in its third edition, Bradt's Lapland is the only guidebook to this wintry wonderland. Spanning the northernmost fringes of Norway, Sweden and Finland, Lapland offers exciting winter and summer adventures. Take in the indigenous Sami culture, experience a husky safari or take a boat trip in search of killer whales. Scandinavia enthusiast James Proctor leads visitors across magical frozen scenery, from the world-famous ICEHOTEL and the stunning Laponia World Heritage area to the Arctic's midnight sun-24-hours of unbroken sunlight. Whether on an organized tour or travelling independently, Bradt's Lapland is the essential travel companion.
