Present company
For someone delivering billions of presents and travelling more than 175 million miles in one night, Santa Claus looks in great shape when Monocle meets him at his home in Lapland.
Expo 68: Life at sea
Alaska’s 50-year-old, state-run ferry system is not a profit-maker. But for the people who use it, it is as important as the police or fire service. Monocle climbs aboard.
Super Swedes
Stockholm’s conservative culinary scene is being transformed. A new generation of food entrepreneurs are answering the call for laidback dining with clever, big-scale enterprises where locals can grab a quick bite.
Food
The restaurants and food-producers on our radar this month, plus our "star dish" of beef tartare.
Effective cold relief
Passengers are merely one part of the equation for this Arctic airline: connecting isolated communities and ferrying food and fuel are just as high on the agenda.
Observation
As the Monocle team takes to the road again, thoughts are turning to new projects for the year ahead, writes Tyler Brûlé.
Go with the ice flow

Observation
As summer comes to a close, our editor-in-chief turns a fresh page by taking to the road across Europe and rethinking four-wheeled travel.
School of thought
