► ABOUT THIS HIKE
In June 2023 I spent 3 days canoeing in the waters of Swedish Lapland, east of Jokkmokk, above the arctic circle in northern Sweden. My trip started in Årrenjarka from where I canoed west along to coast to Saggat. I camped on a small inhabited island near the start of the Kvikkjokk delta. On the second day I canoed up the Gamájåhkå river towards the border of Sarek National Park. I explored the many channels in the delta and went up the Tarraätno river as far as possible. I camped on a lake plateau (lake dock) on lake Mierdékjávrre. On the third day I hiked up to the peak of Prinskullen and canoed back in a storm to Årrenjarka.

Special thanks to Matti @JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA for his advice as a local outdoors expert.

This is an ambient film without dialog.

  1. Harmen is truly still an undiscovered gem, amazing filmmaking as ever. Every video from the first to the last is of extraordinary quality. The silent style allows for an immersive experience, no distraction from the majesty of the natural world on show and allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks with wherever their mind wanders as though they themsleves were on these beautiful journeys. Thank you Harmen!

  2. Salut Harmen ! Superbe réalisation video, images magnifiques. Il se dégage de tes vidéos une très grande zénitude.. Merci de nous offrir les beautés de ce monde!! Bravo! Bravo!

  3. Man, that's one of the best videos I've seen on utube the camera work and drone footage was 1st class, I could have stayed on that raft all week, excellent..

  4. Harmen! Your videos should be prescribed to anyone who deals with anxiety, stress or depression. I’m always in awe of the beauty God has made and how you capture it perfectly. My husband and I watch faithfully and enjoy all the little things. The coffee in the morning, the unpacking and packing, the quiet, the sunsets, everything. And we always have fun looking for that tiny Bible verse at the end!

  5. I am getting emotional by watching this video. the calm and serene environment is overwhelming. After seeing your video on the Mont Blanc i knew what i wanted to do: back to nature. I sold my boat and bought the gear i needed (thanks to your video's ) and then…. the doctors told me they have to cut my leg and correct the angle to save my knee. that would take a whole year to recover….So, maybe next year i can go make the trip to the mountains. Sweden is also on my bucketlist if i can call it that.. thanks Harmen for inspiring me. God bless you!

  6. Fantastisch! Van minuut een tot twintig, deze trip wil ik nu exact zo maken. Het verlangen is groot, dat wereldje prachtig in beeld gebracht Harmen! Hartelijk dank ✨
