d)
Harriniva: Spread along the coast of the river, the
wilderness of Harriniva boasts of beautiful natural scenes.
Harriniva has the Arctic Circle on its south.
Besides the stunning scenes around, the activities like reindeer
sleigh rides delight travelers. The sky of Harriniva
is lit with the Northern Lights and the stars. The
landscape remains covered with beautiful white snow. The
atmosphere is merry with fresh and crisp cool air. The
accommodation situated on the coast of the adorable
Muonjonjoki River will delight visitors. Harriniva gives one the
opportunity of seeing herds of huskies from a very small
distance. A few lucky visitors might even end up playing with
some of them.
The husky or the
reindeer sleigh ride is great fun and it becomes more memorable
as one gets to meet dear old Santa Claus at the end of it.
