how do you dress for -40 degree weather?
I've just signed up for a student tour to Lappi, or the Finnish Lapland. For the uninitiated, it's the vast wilderness in northern Finland above the Arctic Circle.
I get to cross the Arctic Circle -- how cool is that? Or rather, how cold is that?
-40 degrees Celsius, apparently.
Freezing to death and roughing it up in a cabin in the woods with ten strangers is not exactly my idea of fun, but then again, the trip promises a chance to visit a snow castle, go ice fishing, build an igloo, go reindeer sledding, and maybe even see the Northern Lights. It's an opportunity I just couldn't miss.
But somehow this still feels a bit too Survivor-ish for me.
I'll tell you all about it when I come back a popsicle. :/
