This is Europe's northernmost region. Lying between latitudes 60 and 70, The Nordic region is just as far north as Alaska and Siberia and just as far from the equator as is Antarctica.

Despite its northern location, the Nordic region has similar climate and similar social and living conditions to those of the rest of Europe. This is due to the fact that the Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic.

Luleå is situated in this fantastic region where the midnight sun and a charming city will welcome you in June 2008.
