Show of Northern Lights in 7 European Cities

This week the European Capital of Culture 2014, Umeå, and VisitSweden start a tour through Europe. People across Europe will get the chance to experience the Northern Lights, Sami culture, as well as 4.9 tonnes of crystal clear ice.

A spectacular see through exhibition centre resembling a giant ice cube, camp fires and a traditional Sami ‘kåta’, the Sami version of a Nordic teepee, will bring a taste of the unique culture of Umeå.

Four huge ice blocks is just one of the attractions when Umeå goes on a tour around seven European cities.
