A Christmas
letter for you
Santa Claus Village is an amusement park in Rovaniemi in
the Lapland region of Finland . It was opened in 1985. In
1985, Rovaniemi was declared as an official hometown
of Santa Claus.
ATTRACTIONS
•Arctic Circle:
The Artic
circle ostensibly cuts right through Santa
Claus Village. A white line denoting the Arctic
Circle (at its position in 1865) is painted across
the park. Visitors officially enter
the Artic area when they cross the line. The
line is a very popular photo spot for visitors.
•
Santa's House of Snowmobiles: A museum
about the history and evolution of
snowmobiles in the Arctic areas.
•Santa Claus's Office:
A Santa
Claus's Office is located inside the main
building of the Village, for visitors to take
photographs and chat with Santa Claus.
However, there is an "office hour" for Santa
Claus and he may not be in the office all the
time even when the Village is open.
Did you know that every year Santa
Claus receives around half a million
letters to his post office at the Arctic
Circle? The letters arrive from
children all over the world!
•Northern Lights: also known
as AURORA BOREALIS . The Northern
Lights are observed on around 150 nights
in a year from mid-August till early April.
The Arctic Garden and the top of
Ounasvaara fell are the best destinations
to witness Northern Lights. According to
science, it is caused by electrically
charged particles from the sun colliding
with air molecules in Earth's atmosphere,
and deflected by Earth's magnetic field.
This process results in emission of
colourful light, visible at night. Green is
the most common colour in this process,
while red, pink, violet, yellow, and even
blue may be observable too
