About Apukka
Apukka lies in the Rovaniemi region, the capital of Finnish Lapland, at roughly 100 metres above sea level. The landscape is typical of the area: open boreal forest of pine and birch, lakes, wetlands and low fells. Rovaniemi itself is known as the home of Santa Claus and as the gateway to the Arctic. Apukka sits in the quieter countryside around it, where the scenery is shaped by forest and water rather than by the town.
What to watch on the camera
The view is most interesting in the long northern light. In winter the snow and the short days change the colours of the forest hour by hour, while in summer the midnight light gives soft evening tones. Depending on the view and the weather, you may see snow cover, fog over the lakes or the first signs of spring thaw. Checking the camera at different hours shows how quickly the light moves across the landscape.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Winters are long and cold, with snow usually lasting from late autumn into spring. Summers are short and mild, and the best months for mild weather are June to August. Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi is about 8 km away and is also covered by a camera on VizCams. Other nearby views include Kemijarvi, Tornio and Haparanda, all in the wider Lapland and northern Sweden border area.
