This picture taken on November 23, 2021 shows reindeers near Ivalo, in Finnish Lapland. - Twenty years ago the ancient livelihood of herding reindeer for meat and fur appeared to be declining in popularity in Lapland, the vast area of forest and tundra which spans northernmost Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia's Kola peninsula.
