the vast majority of reindeer in lapland belong to the Sámi people, many still live a nomadic existence in the norhtern parts of finland, sweden, norway and parts of russia. they are one of the largest indigenous ethnic groups in europe. these beautiful reindeer graze freely along the road leading to the northkapp and certainly have the right-of-way! i often had to slam on my breaks as they wandered into the road in search of greener grass on the other side! (maybe for these majestic creatures the grass is always greener!)
