The town of Kautokeino, Finnmarksvidda, northern Norway, in wintertime. Its red, wooden church stands in the middle. The town, which is mainly inhabited by ethnic Sami, is a Nordic centre of Sami culture. For the nomadic reindeer herders, Kautokeino is their winter home. In spring they move with their herds to summer pasture on the Atlantic coast, and in autumn they return to Kautokeino.
