the scenery over there snow-capped mountains it's amazing and I know that just cost me like nearly 11 pounds for a burger but probably Cal's actually tastes quite good or maybe it's just because I've spent so much I wanted to taste good how's that review so the world's most northerly burger king is just to the south of me over there and I'm set to the north of the world's most northerly burger king and eating a burger does that mean that I am the most northerly person in the world at the moment eaten a Burger King about to think I am after my 11 pound burger I headed back to the airport my aircraft for this evenings flying arrived in from hammerfest and it wasn't long before I was boarding for my adventure across Finland my home for the next three hours was another - 8 100 [Music] [Music] as the Midnight Sun sat high above the horizon in the north we took off heading eastbound into some of the most beautiful scenery that I've ever seen the flight was pretty fall for the first two legs as we headed towards our first stop on this flight has big a small fishing village with a population of three hundred and eighty-five [Music] after 15 minutes on the ground in has week we took off heading further east towards Hammerfest [Music] hammerfest is a beautiful town which features a stunning approach and landing looping over the town to make an approach into the airport [Music] most of the passengers got off the aircraft here and were replaced by only two doors were closed and we took off once more heading towards the town of Hollingsworth Hollings work is the northernmost town in europe all their hammerfest disputes that's on the basis that it is bigger it's situated at 71 degrees north and is nearby to the north cape which is known as the northernmost point in europe even though the next cape alarm can live skill modern try saying that with a mouthful extends slightly further north then the spell bard of course that's hundreds of miles further north again the north cape is though the northernmost point that can be reached by Road in Europe to make things even more confusing the northernmost point in mainland Europe is Cape Nordic in a few miles from our next destination at Muhammad [Music] [Music] we had to wait a while at Muhammad as there was an air ambulance loading a poorly patient who was being transferred back to Hammerfest hammerfest is a five hour drive from Muhammad but the air our Midlands can cover the distance in less than 30 minutes they're finishing up the words so we can't go before scheduling unless there is a change get everything there is a okay so we are at in their harmony and ultimate stop we have one more stop I'm heading out in a minute there's an air ambulance taking somebody away I think detecting - Elizabeth then we're off to pursue and onward - the tennis after we took off from Mohammed the time ticked over to midnight it's such a strange experience being in broad daylight in the middle of the night and as the town of van snow slept below us we made our approach into the tiny airport to the east of the town as we set on the ground at fatso the captain came out and I got the surprise of

part of the world and experiences its peak season in winter when thousands of visitors come to see the Northern Lights from alta it was a 15 minute ride to the beautiful village of circus nestled in between the mountains the approach in landing into surf chosen is absolutely stunning and kicked off possibly the most scenic part of my Arctic adventure [Music] [Music] [Music] as we climbed out of circular the terrain climbed with us to reveal the study mountaintops of the Lincoln Alps [Music] in the mountains of the lingam Peninsula we crossed the field of ill see Odin and began our descent
