It examines, on one hand, how museums in Arctic Norway and in Finnish Lapland narrate the Arctic and, on the other hand, considers how visitors to these museums are narrating their experiences on travel review websites. The chapter aims to uncover how the separate texts might be valuable sources in filling the potential 'experiential void' that the geographic extreme has created, thus narrating into existence an 'experiential core'.
