Venture into the village of Ranua on a photography tour from Rovaniemi. Drive into Ranua Wildlife Park, home to more than 50 different species of Arctic animals, such as polar bears, wolverines, grey wolves, and arctic foxes.
Take a walk around the wildlife park and along the trail and meet many animals that belong to the Arctic area. Focus on photographing these Northern animals and use all the time necessary to capture exquisite pictures of this fascinating wildlife.
As you become enthralled by Arctic nature, listen to detailed and interesting information about the animals and their living environments. Learn, for instance, that reindeer grow a new pair of antlers every year, which constitutes the fastest growing bone on Planet Earth.
Some animals in the park are highly endangered, so also receive information on how you could act to prevent Arctic species from extinction. Ranua Zoo is dedicated to taking care of injured animals and if possible returning them back to nature. Some animals you see on your tour have been rescued from the wilderness as they might have been hurt or abandoned by their own.
Before heading back to Rovaniemi, have time to shop for some famous Fazer sweets, local delicacies, and souvenirs in small boutiques close to the wildlife park.
