Some might think that everyday life or play stops during the winter in the north? That's as far from the truth as you can get. Skiing, ice skating, kickboarding, snowshoeing, sledding and tobogganing are welcome activities throughout the winter in Kirkenes.
Not a winter goes by in the north without all children and many adults making both snow angels and snowmen with great dedication and creativity. Making angels in the snow is an ancient tradition that everyone can participate in.
Many people also love to go ice fishing by drilling holes in the ice and fishing for their own dinner. Here you can soon see some scenes from a completely ordinary, but playful everyday life in winter Kirkenes.
