Compare and Contrast
Because it is a very interesting country that has variety of activities available each season and offers landmarks and phenomenon that cannot be experienced in any other part of the world such as the Northern Lights. It also has a lot of interesting history from which we could learn from. Some of the old traditions have also been preserved such as the dog sledging which can not be experienced in very many other countries. It seems as if it has an old world feel and that it would be a good getaway from the stresses of everyday life. There are also many different family activities you can engage in such as fishing, or getting a beautiful look at the scenery by going hiking.
