Swimming in Ice in the North of Sweden - Haparanda & Tornio

- I wanted to visit Haparanda, the most eastern town in Sweden to be able to visit Tornio by walking into Finland on foot. I also wanted to swim in a hole in the ice (isvak). I had an amazing time in the north of Sweden, learning the history of the town, trying to speak the minority language Meänkieli, trying to differentiate between Swedish and Finnish food, seeing a golf course in two timezones and the favorite grill of Eurovision winner Lordi, as well as Kukkolaforsen (the Kukkola Rapids). I recommend everyone to visit Haparanda and to visit Tornio.

My channel is packed with Swedish tutorials and language challenges where you can learn everything from nouns and verbs to grammar and special Swedish words. I also talk about places in Sweden and where you as a tourist can visit. I have made youtube videos for over 10 years. You can also find videos about Norse Mythology, my deep-talk series Good Talk (which now has its own channel) and other info about Sweden and Swedish culture.

"I'm impressed and shocked" - precisely :D well done
Fun and well made video, i have cottage at kukkolankoski(kukkolaforsen) on finnish side of the river, nice to see that at least there is winter, here in southern Finland we haven`t seen snow this winter at all
I enjoyed this video/ Broadcast so much! Keep going on, Martin! Tack så mycket
Thank you Lia, I'm happy with how it turned out.
You all made it look so easy!
Tack så mycket bra😁😁
It is so wonderful tornio.justa kinda I would live there till old age
I was there for a weekend in the summer of 2018. It was the hottest summer in 204 years and Tornedalen felt like the tropics! One of the most beautiful natural places I have been to.
Yeah, that was a warm summer, yikes.
This is so awesome! Very inspiring!
que belloen zuecia
This did look super cold. Would be cool to do it once. I have to get to Sweden first though 😉 Thank you for sharing x
You're welcome and you are most welcome :)
Tack för besöket, så trevligt att se! 👍😊 Välkommen även sommartid! Hälsningar från en Haparanda-bo 😊☀️
Det ser jag fram emot.
Very enjoyable! Some of your English words have a bit of a US southern twang 😁 I like it!
I tend to visit haparanda from time to time, I do only live 30km away in Kemi. Ikea being of course one of the shops, and snusgrossen, I don't use snus myself, but they sell soda which costs like 10-12€/24 cans, which is way cheapers than in Finland. Oh, and candyworld, one of the biggest candyshops in Europe

True story
Min pappa kom från Haparanda. Själv har jag inte varit där sedan jag var 17-18. När vi var små, brukade vi rymma till Torneå för att köpa godis och läsk.
Rymma utomlands och in i framtiden. :)
You're crazzzy!!😂
Yes, ha ha
Isbading er ikke et problem for oss vikinger :)
Isvak is a hole in the ice, just like in Dutch: "ijswak"... But is it also a wake?? :)
It's Swenglish ;)
@@TheSwedishLad ah ! I see 😂😂 I have (by the way) no idea what a vak/wak might be pa Engelska 😉
Fantastic video! Btw, just curious, but how well do you (and Swedes in general) understand Fennoswedish accents?
Understanding actual Finnish is impossible for Swedes. But understanding Swedish with a Finnish accent is easy for Swedes
@@JackRussel1997 Okay, thanks for answer! I've always thought that Swedes have somewhat of a hard time understanding Swedish with Finnish accent, but I guess I was wrong.
Fellow yeah no it’s not considered particularly difficult to understand. It’s mostly seen as quite cute and melodic. The only accent that some Swedes might find difficult is the accent from Scania (Skåne) which is in the very south Sweden since it has some influences from Danish
I can't go in unless the water is at least 30°C.
Very cool. Literally. And you definitely would have been colder, had you not worn that Sweden hat 🤪
Sarah E N and the same goes to you had you only counted my population more thoroughly.
TheSwedishLad true true 🙈😂
You went into cold water?!😱
Its sort of a right of passage. I did it at 15.
@@asalal0398 as common Balkan, Serbian girl, I would never dare to enter ice cold pool or spring.😰😱😁
It is also part of the training in the Swedish armed forces. At least it was when my dad did his National Service.
@@lenarosic we did get to wear jackets and such if we wanted to.
@@AnnaBomBanana i think so aswell
