Reindeer in Rovaniemi, Finland cool down at the beach.

Finnish reindeer in the Christmas destination Lapland were pictured lying on the beach in a shaded spot to seek respite from abnormally high temperatures.

The two reindeer were pictured seeking solace from the soaring 28C weather at Ounaskoski beach, in Rovaniemi, Tuesday. Fellow beach-goers snapped pictures of the unlikely visitors as they cooled off in the shade.

"Many people took photos and it didn't seem to bother them in the slightest. Children were playing nearby and that didn't disturb them either," Johanna Koivisto told a local news outlet after snapping a picture of the relaxed pair.

Last week, reindeer were pictured "queuing" outside a local social benefits office in the Lapland village of Inari as they sought shade.

Comment: The mainstream media has focused almost exclusively on record-breaking hot temperatures this summer....promoting the man-made global warming/climate change narrative...yet it ought to be noted that at the other extreme, many new cold temperature records are also being set across the planet at this time:

• Record cold in Hungary
• Record cold in Brazil
• Several record temperature lows in the Trans-Baikal territory, Russia
• "There is no heat out there" — Anomalous cold continues across Europe's Nordic nations
• Multiple all-time low temperature records set across Germany - Rare July frosts ravage Saxony
• New all-time July cold record in the Netherlands
• Temperatures sink to -6C in Southern Norway at the height of summer
• Russian city breaks 107-year-old cold record
• 15 cold weather records broken across Queensland, Australia
