Seriously, impressive cinematography.

I really like the sound of the swedish language

This is very revealing, and shows very simply that good people live, work and coexist, whatever the climate or other factors.
I was brought here by the TV series 'Rebecka Martinsson' and wanted to do some research.
I have a massive regard for the Swedish people and their way of life, a Nordic dream state.
As a Scotsman, I consider myself a 'northener', and am uncomfortable in a high temperature country, even the south of France.
Oh, and the actress who is in the lead role of Martinsson is so nice-looking, just saying!

Sad to see my home town where I'm typing this from is getting completely reworked... I will feel like a tourist in 70% of the town for a while. I can look forward to when the current centre of the town is closed of and abandoned, then we will get many years to re-explore the area before most of it falls into the pit :) Jumping fences, looking around trying to revive memories.. Ahh. I gotta remember to snap a couple hundred photos all over the town to keep and show to future children and grandchildren. Who will live in a completely different town. Well, almost, 3 parts of the town will still remain. :D Amazing work on this video guys!

I was there last winter, a really beautiful city and I hope to return there again

While living in Saro (outside Kungsbacka) in 1990-1991, I did not have opportunity to visit the very far north of Sweden, but I truly hope to do so to see the amazing transformation of Kiruna(and to hopefully visit with friends in Kungsbacka, too!). Thank you for the wonderful video!

Kiruna is a town in the middle of the wilderness. It is established there because of iron ore. But Kiruna is very cool.

[arjunmadhurmarwah]

Woh! That is just amazing, preserving the soul and memories of the town. Too good!

[saranilsson]

I'm amazed at the task they will be undertaking. would love to visit there!

My partner and I lived in Kiruna for three months earlier this year and absolutely loved it! It's such an amazing town and it's just incredible to see how they will move it :)

Ett privilegium att fått växa upp där! Snart finns "mitt" Kiruna endast i mitt minne... Hoppas förändringen bli bra! :-)

This is a really nice video, I look forward to more! I used to live in Sweden and still go back a lot but it's really nice to see these videos to remind me of everything! :)

Fantastiskt, vad glad jag blir, det här var riktigt bra! :)
Borde köras på svt tycker jag!

[ronweasley]

Wow this is cool as someone who comes from Stockholm I have never thought about how difficult it could be for the people in Kiruna even doe I knew about the problemet with the mines
