Ojala-Merikoski, Drifting Through Nordic Islands

The characterful island cabins of the North are hidden gems for whiling away summer days under the glow of the midnight sun. A staggering 76 per cent of the world's islands are located in the Nordics, with over 224,000 of them in Finland - scattered among thousands of lakes, along riverbanks and at the edges of northern shores. This book whisks you to the atmospheric world of eleven unique cabins, captured over the course of four months - each steeped in stories and the quiet beauty of Nordic nature. It all began with a desire to understand how island life shapes those who retreat there. The creators of the book visited places where people, living amid the rush of city life, have built spaces for stillness. The islands are both rugged and untamed, and reaching them takes effort - landing on rocky shores and following winding forest paths. Author Henna Ojala-Merikoski and photographer Frida Steiner welcome you aboard: journey with them to quiet islands where the hours slip away and life unfolds in meaningful moments. Breathtaking Nordic hideaways await!
