Art in the Arctic

"Welcome to our extreme conditions!" booms the mayor of Kemi. "We Finns have been making holes in the snow for hundreds of years!"

Up here on the Arctic Circle in February, the temperature lurks around -20°C and you say it like it is, whether it’s about the weather or the holes or why you came here in the first place.
