The book also explores the traditions and customs of the people of Piteå and the Sami people, who have inhabited the region for centuries. Through the author's eyes, we gain unique insights into the challenges and rewards of travel in the unforgiving wilderness and learn about the strength and resilience of the people who call it home.

Récit de voyage effectué dans les années 1798-1799. Le naturaliste et explorateur Joseph ACERBI fut le premier à décrire le sauna finlandais et à utiliser ce mot. En 1799 une petite expédition part de Stockholm pour rejoindre le Cap Nord, en essayant une route complètement différente par rapport aux parcours normalement suivis par les voyageurs : traverser le golfe glacé de Botnie sur un traîneau, arriver à Turku et remonter le long de la côte finlandaise jusqu'à Tornio, reprendre le parcours « vertical » traditionnel pour traverser la Laponie et rejoindre Hammerfest et le Cap Nord. Les trois gentilshommes qui participent à cette prouesse sont deux italiens et un suédois : Giuseppe Acerbi (1773 1846), le grand voyageur de Mantoue, Bernardo Bellotti, son ami qui préférera s'arrêter à Tornio, et Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1757 1834), officier, historien et mémorialiste. Giuseppe Acerbi est un explorateur, un naturaliste, un archéologue, un diplomate . "Les récits de la Finlande, peu visitée par les voyageurs, et les renseignements complémentaires sur la Laponie contenus dans cet ouvrage, lui confèrent une grande valeur." , Graesse I, 12. Cox I, 187.
