From his Lapland town of Rovaniemi, Santa Claus is preparing for Christmas. But after Finland’s hottest summer, there is not a snowflake in sight."We can see that the climate change is true" he laments while sitting on an armchair. "And it's affecting the reindeer. It's affecting the life here in the Arctic." In the touristic Santa Claus Village, visitors brave the rain to get a glimpse of the magic. "I figured it would be much more snowy. I mean, it still feels like Christmas just because it's everywhere, but I figured it would be a little bit more Santa-like" explains Wenguel, who travelled from Dallas. "It's like in the Christmas movies. Super magical", says Maria Batista Torres, shivering from the cold, a tourist from Tenerife. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
