在斯堪的纳维亚北部北极圈内生活着一群以游牧为生土著居民–萨米人，摄影师Erika Larsen花了整整3年多的时间，与他们生活在一起，记录他们与环境的共生关系。萨米人是传统的驯鹿牧民，随着季节性的变化而移动迁徙。长期生活与北极圈极端的环境中，使他们拥有对环境敏锐的感知，且更善于和大自然和谐共处。（照片来自Erika Larsen）
以下是摄影师的文字：
I see Sámi People living in two worlds.
They are of the now. They are of the past.
When I am here a week seems like eternity.
This place will change me forever.
I am a storyteller and this becomes clearer now.
The days are nights and the nights are days.
The reindeer move at night because the snow is harder and easier
to move. Therefore so do we.
This place is Coalmmejavri.
It means shallow water between two lakes.
Time does not exist here, not really anyway.
Yesterday I stood in a vacuum of fog, Murku, winter fog.
It was a place where everything could exist but nothing does.
We stay in a lavvo and I what I think most queer
is that even though the tundra seems absent of all life we get visitors everyday.
I can’t say for sure where they materialize from since I have yet to see another lavvo
but I suppose in the vastness of the tundra it would be foolish of me to think we are alone.
This life is hard, the work with the reindeer.
The weather is ever changing and uninterested in the comfort of those who inhabit the landscape.
The weather takes all the energy out a man.
He wears it on his face.
But the people are proud of their work.
They are proud to be Sámi.
Every ounce of their being is Sámi.
