In spring 2010, Ruth Courvoisier and her friend embarked on a four month kayaking journey through Arctic Scandinavia along the indented, islet-strewn Norwegian coast, then through the heart of Lapland down the Finnish-Swedish border.
During the expedition gathering she will share their experience as amateur expeditioners, describing what they learned about Northern Norway by visiting from the sea, and show some of the fantastic scenery they had the privilege to watch - the alpine peaks of Nordland and Troms, sea eagles soaring in blue skies, dusk merging into dawn in the “Land of the Midnight Sun”, the sea's spectrum of colours, the barren plateaux of Finnmark, and the forest greens of Lapland.
