Skýra Journal (ARCHIVE, POST HERE)
Letters from the North
Welcome to our journal. This is where we write down what moves us: the seasons shifting, traditions worth keeping, the slow work of building something enduring in Lapland. Collected here are the voices of Skýra: the makers, the keepers, the wanderers. Each entry a fragment of the Lapland that has shaped us and will continue to do so.
