A British family traveling across Europe in a motorhome will ride out the pandemic in Lapland after COVID-19 shut down borders.

Despite being a three and a half-hour drive away from hospitals and doctors, the Irwins believe they are safer in Kilpisjärvi, a tiny village of 117 people, than they would be back in the UK.

Amelia, 36, from Cheltenham, in Gloucestershire, UK, and Brett, 37, originally from Johannesburg in South Africa, were in the Finnish region with their sons Gabriel, nine, and Grey, two, and their cats Lola and Skye, when the Norway-Finland border closed on March 18.
