Harsh Reality of Winter Truck Camping in the Arctic

We drove an old truck through Sweden and Norway toward the Arctic Circle and eventually the northernmost point in Europe, dealing with deep snow, dangerous road conditions, frozen windscreen wipers, and a cracked windscreen. We struggled to find a place to camp, shoveled snow for a parking spot, and discovered that the truck’s auxiliary battery had stopped powering the heater. After reaching the Arctic Circle, we were turned away from several full campsites but found a cabin where we could shower, do laundry, rest, and prepare for the next part of the journey.
