A very nice visit to the Velhon kota (the Wizard's hut or Wilderness cafe) guided by strong wind and coincidence and which changed to a very nice chatting with the owner.
The SnowVillage's theme is the Arctic Illusions in this year. Previously for two years the theme was Game of Thrones, that made me admire ice art. I was surprised, that this year is already Snowvillage's 19th time for the exhibition. It is a pity that I haven't seen seem them all.

We biked with mountain bikes from Äkäslompolo to Nilivaara and we thought to find the right route from there to the Fell Kukastunturi.
