 Nordic Skating and Steamboats by Mikko Manka

Welcome to join me in exploring Finland’s waterways throughout the different seasons!

I make videos mainly about my two passions: steamboats and Nordic skating. Most of the action takes place on water – only the state of the water changes.

When it comes to Nordic skating videos, it’s good to remember that the conditions shown are often such that an inexperienced skater should not venture onto the ice. Safety is the number one priority: you should have a companion, proper safety gear, and at least some ability to "read" the ice. Ice is a fresh, ever-changing element, and conditions can shift quickly.

So if you want to come along on Finland’s waters, subscribe to my channel! You’re also welcome to suggest video topics related to skating or steamboats — I’ll do my best to make them happen whenever possible.
