With a population of less than 3,000, Jokkmokk, Sweden, is usually not the most appealing place to visit. 3 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the town is snowy even in June, and the surrounding lakes remain frozen for up to 6 months at a time. Jokkmokk has only a handful of businesses stuttering along one main street piled with snow. But for a few days every winter, the place is transformed. There are dances and feasts; reindeer festooned with bells are paraded through the middle of town. Teepee-like structures are erected throughout the village, music plays over loudspeakers and the air smells of smoked meat. The Jokkmokk Winter Market, a 3-day festival, has taken place each February since the 1600s. Today, the festival is a glimpse into an arcane culture, a way of protecting — and in some ways performing — a kind of lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to hold up in the face of modern life. The photographer Olivier Metzger photographed a reveler on an ice-covered road during the festival. Visit the link in our profile to see more @tmagazine photos.
