Did you know: Kiruna is the largest city in the world – measured by area.

become very popular with American expedition canoers. It provides effective shelter for a canoe group from bugs, wind and rain – much like a lavvu, but the tundra tarp is much lighter and is not intended to be a tent. We learn a lot on a canoe trip with experienced ‘trippers’, and my first trip with Cliff was no exception. I am now the proud owner of a tundra tarp, and ‘happy hour’ gets even happier with something comfortable to sit on. I am less convinced by Cliff’s preference for fresh food on a trip where everything has to be carried – although there was something strangely fitting about serving the reindeer feast in Kautokeino at the end of the trip with fresh potatoes that had been carried through reindeer country for almost two weeks!
