The book chronicles the author's journey to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, highlighting the experiences and observations he makes along the way. It offers a detailed account of the landscape, local people, and cultural practices encountered during this expedition. At the start of the memoir, the author sets the stage for his journey, explaining his motive for exploration as a desire to learn more about the lesser-known areas of northern Finland and Russia. He describes his planning process, weighed the different travel routes available, and ultimately decides to travel through Kuusamo towards the Oulangan River.
