Reindeer Traffic Jam in Lapland

[Heather Sunderland]

Reindeer traffic jams are a common occurrence here in Kuusamo. When the weather is warm and the mosquitoes become unbearable in the forests, the reindeer seek respite on the wide open roads away from the damp, shady places that mosquitoes love.

In the video below, a mother reindeer loses her baby during one of these traffic jams and calls out to it, guiding it back to the group.
