Laponian Area, Sweden


The Arctic Circle region of northern Sweden is the home of the Saami, or Lapp people. It is the largest area in the world (and one of the last) with an ancestral way of life based on the seasonal movement of livestock. Every summer, the Saami lead their huge herds of reindeer towards the mountains through a natural landscape hitherto preserved.This scenic card was sent by MJ in Sweden and thanks for the beautiful stamp of Ingrid Bergman.           Ref: 774
