🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Arctic Circle region in northern Sweden is home to the Sami people. This is the world's largest (and last) region where people live an ancestral way of life based on the seasonal migration of livestock. Every summer, the Sami lead their huge reindeer herds through this still well-preserved natural landscape to the mountains, but now threatened by motor vehicles. History and ongoing geological processes can be seen in the moraines and changing waterways.
