The Big Dig: Clearing an Arctic Village After Heavy Snow

Join me in the far North of Sweden for a typical December morning. At this time of year, the sun never truly rises, leaving us in a world of deep blues and fiery red skies. My 1963 Volvo LM225 might be over 60 years old, but it’s the lifeline for our village.

The Arctic doesn't wait for the sun to come up. After a massive heavy snowfall, the village is completely cut off. Join me in the cab of the Volvo as I navigate the narrow roads of our Swedish Arctic home in total darkness to get the village moving again.

It’s a race against time and the elements to ensure the roads are clear for the community. This is what survival and work look like at the Top of the World.

We aren't just clearing driveways—we're keeping the village infrastructure alive. From the main roads to the communal bin areas, see how this vintage workhorse handles the extreme cold and heavy loads.
Thank you.
