February 6th is Sámi national day. The Sámi are the indigenous inhabitants of northern Scandinavia and their ancestral lands include parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola peninsula of Russia. A notable aspect of their culture is Reindeer husbandry, and so in commemoration of Sámi national day, here is a summertime picture of reindeer in the little village of Jukkasjärvi, Sweden.
