I'm very excited to be in the early planning stages of a sweet-water scandinavian swim that will be well north of the Arctic Circle. There will be sauna! More details to follow as things develop.
Has anyone here done anything at this latitude?

Our proposed route is a 20k+ overnight swim from Uruniemi 68.90263,27.066911 to Koppelopetäjäsaari 68° 56' 14.13", +27° 30' 54.39 via 68.938844,27.293472 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukonkivi
A good 300k north of the arctic circle, it will be relatively bright during the brief night.

I believe the route will head east after Ukonkivi... perhaps my coordinates were off.

I am curious how such an epic, far-flung adventure like this comes to be. Do you have Finnish friends? How did you hear of Lake Inari? Great stuff, DB, and thanks for sharing it with us!
Clare and I decided to go north, and our friends were anxious to share their OW with us. Finland first... then Sweden. I think the Finger Lakes will have to wait

We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
