FROZEN LAPLAND

Eaglewood ...

Drone pilot and AirVūz contributor Eaglewood Pictures created this stunning aerial film of Lapland, Finland's largest and most northern region.  Snow falls in Lapland as early as late August with the thickest snowfall being in early April. The video features footage of Riisitunturi National Park in the municipality of Posio; Pyhä-Luosto National Park in the central part of Lapland; and  Ruka Ski Resort in Kuusamo, near Finland's eastern border with Russia.

Enontekiö is a municipality in the Lapland region of northern Finland.  Enontekiö occupies a sort of "land peninsula" which is sandwiched between Sweden to the south and west and Norway to the north.  The region is one of the most sparsely populated in Europe: covering almost 8k square km (around 3k square mi.), it's home to fewer than 2,000 inhabitants.   Contributor timoksanen was nominated for the Drone Video of the Week for this beautiful Fall piece from this magical spot well above the Arctic Circle.

Here's a beautiful aerial view of Fall in the storied Finnish region of Lapland, compliments of former Drone Video of the Week Finalist timoksanen.  It was filmed near the village of Hetta in the municipality of Enontekiö, an appendage of northwestern Finland which is sandwiched between the territory of Sweden and Norway. Popular with cross-country skiers, this is some of the most remote territory in continental Europe: during the off-season, the nearest operating airport is about a two hour drive away.

Turku is a Finnish city on the southwestern coast of the country, near where the Aura River empties into the Baltic Sea.  Turku has a storied history; it is the oldest city in Finland, was its capital until 1812, and remained its largest city for decades after that.  While it has since been surpassed by Helsinki and other cities, Turku remains a significant center for Finnish culture.  Contributor and pilot Nikkelodeon used a DJI Phantom 4 drone to create this amazing aerial view of his hometown.

Bright Days, White Nights

timoksanen...

If you look at a map of southern Finland, you won't be able to count all the lakes you see - big, small, connected, there are tens of thousands of them.  In this amazingly cinematic piece by top AirVuz contributor and multiple Drone Video of the Week Finalist timoksanen, you will see just one of these lakes: Lake Lääminki in the municipality of Kangasniemi in the Southern Savonia region.  Not especially large or notable, the lake was filmed with a combination of drone and ground camera footage on one of the longest days of the year.

Lapland: Levi

KopterCam: Winter in Levi, Finland

KopterCam...

Finnish drone pilot and AirVuz contributor Koptercam created this amazing aerial video of the Levi skiing and recreational area of Lapland in Northern Finland.  Located north of the Arctic Circle, it's Finland's largest ski resort.  Using a DJI Inspire drone with a DJI X5 camera, much of the film is tracking a group of snowmobilers trekking through the Scandinavian winter wonderland.  If nothing else, it will help you to understand why Lapland and Christmas are so often mentioned in the same breath.

Contributor and pilot Porvoo brings us this beautiful drone video of one of the oldest towns in Finland.  Porvoo is located on Finland's southern coast, just a bit to the east of Helsinki and bit north of the coastline on the Gulf of Finland.  It's a very well preserved medieval town, one of just a half dozen or so which remain intact in this Scandinavian country.  The town was established by Swedish colonists in the 13th or 14th centuries.  It was partly destroyed by a fire in the mid-18th century.

Lapland is an official region of northern Finland.  Much of it lies above the Arctic Circle.  It's a land of dense forests, thousands of lakes, and endless winters.  Lapland may present the ultimate winter landscape, and for this reason it is closely associated with Christmas in certain countries.  Top contributor and pilot Timoksaken, who has some of the best drone videos of Finland to be found anywhere, created this stunning aerial picture of Lapland's Kolari and Muonio in the heart of winter. .

Former DVOW Finalist timoksanen brings us this stunning early Fall video from the Lapland region of Finland.  The video was filmed along the Kapsajoki and Loukinen Rivers in the municipality of Kittilä, in the far northern part of the country.  Not far from the Swedish and Norwegian borders, and well within the Arctic Circle, this area has become a popular tourist destination.  Not in the winter, though: Kittilä was the location of the coldest temperature ever recorded in Finland - minus 61 degrees Farenheit (-52 degrees Celsius)!

RUSKA (Autumn in Lapland)

timoksanen...

The celebration of the transitional colors of autumn is recognized differently in various parts of the world.  In Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland, this colorful seasonal transformation is described with its own word.  "Ruska" not only aptly describes these beautiful hues of fall, it's also the name of this remarkable video by top contributor Timoksanen.  His stunning use of DJI products like the Phantom 4 Pro, Mavic Pro, Ronin S, and OSMO+ created this stunning footage of this storied region north of the Arctic Circle.

timoksanen...

If a country known in part for its lakes makes an artificial lake, what shape should it be?  The shape of the country, right?  Top contributor and pilot Timoksanen created an amazing drone video of Neitokainen, an artificial lake in Finland.  Using a DJI Mavic Pro Drone, he gives us a bird's eye view of this lake designed and constructed in the early 1990's. Look at a map while watching the video; you will see for yourself it looks like Finland. It's located near Kittilä, in the Lapland region.

Rovaniemi is the provincial capital of Lapland, the northernmost province in the Scandinavian country of Finland.  The city is situated just a few km/mi outside (ie, south of) the Arctic circle, at the confluence of two of the region's most important rivers.  A very old settlement, Rovaniemi came into its own as a mid-sized city in the early 1800's, when Lapland's vast natural resources began to be exploited.   In this drone video, you'll get a bird's eye nighttime view of a beautiful church in this far northern city.

When it was founded in the mid-16th century, the Finnish city of Helsinki was originally located at the mouth of the Vantaa River.  Due to a fire and a plague outbreak, it moved to its current location, about 7 km (around 4 mi.) to the south, at the tip of the Vironniemi Peninsula.  The original Helsinki site is called Vanhakaupunki, which translates to "old town" in reference to its history.  Seen here in this drone video by Riband Kurd, Vanhakaupunki is now a district within the (now much larger) Finnish capital city.
