Glaciers will melt and you will drown! Better pick Finland!

If somebody will ever decides move to North Norway i can explain a bit how life goes here.

I live in Finnmark, its nice around, but still - not nice place to live. Winter lasts for 8 months and the last 4 months is spring-summer-autumn mixed together and in this mixed period most time its just cloudy, rainy, windy and cold. In winter best activities you can have is skying and snow scooters, in summer - fishing, hiking, camping (but you gonna die from mosquitos and "knots" out there). There is some other activities you can do, but everyone should not forget one thing: in Norway, everything what is fun - forbidden.

Food is literately - shit. First its expensive, second - lack of variety. We often driving to Finland or Sweden so we can buy better food.

Prices for everything is high, but payment also high. But to find wok nowadays is hard, especially for foreigners that dont speak norwegian.

Traveling takes forever, everywhere is long distances. If you want to fly somewhere first you need fly to Oslo, so it means only flight form north to Oslo gonna cost 60% of your total flight price.


So if somebody gonna move then better move to south Norway, life bit easier there.

Thanks for sharing

Every play Railroad Tycoon 3 from late 90s, early 2000s? This actually was one of the scenarios in the game... rebuild the rail infrastructure from all the new massive dikes and flooding due to glacial and tundra melt.

But if you want to talk about that, how much of Finland is tundra? Isn't that like 70-80% ice? http://www.news.com.au/technology/envir ... e526c91b0c

Not sure if on or off topic here and if it'd affect anyone's thoughts on where to migrate, but this is a forerunner of what's coming: https://www.google.com/search?q=Giant+S ... undra+melt

0% of Finland is tundra. Even in the northmost parts of Finland, it gets over 10 degrees on average summer day.


The summer of lapland is even shorter than the summer of other parts in Finland, but very beautiful.

Last time that there was lots of ice in Finland was more than 10 000 years ago.
It caused the land to lower, and thus the land is slowly rising. So if you buy some land near the shore, you will soon have even more land.

Is that supposed to outpace glacial melt?

I live in Texas, I'd rather live in Scotland.

That took me by surprise, why Scotland? Not that there is anything wrong with Scotland, just wouldn't have expected anyone to say it, lol.

Don't come to Norway. This is how it is here:

For now the land is rising faster than the glaciers are melting, so yes.



Finland has beautiful scenery, lots of swamps. Around 15% of the land area in Finland is swamp.


There are lots of berries and mushrooms, and everybody is allowed to pick them from the nature. .. Even though usually some people from thailand are hired to come pick them so they can be sold.


Lots of blueberries too!


Some wild strawberries can be found sometimes, they are pretty tasty!
