In northern Europe, the amount of light is a very important thing. In June, it’s almost polar day time. Summer in Finland is very beautiful, blue sky, blue lake-water and green forest. Many of happy Finns eat ice cream and roam on the street. They have been waiting for summer for a long time, no one wants to stay at home. They just want to go out for basking.
Summer activities in Finland have a lot to do with lakes, such as boating, swimming, or jumping into the water to cool down after taking a long sauna. It is the favorite thing for Finns. It is almost polar day time, make the days are very long. Compare to the long winter nights, the feeling is completely different. It’s still bright at 2 am. You can go boating on the lake or hiking in the forest, just like during the day time. This feeling is really unique.
