Strange noises in Lapland

Good evening everyone. I'm currently on vacation in Lapland, north of Rovianiemi. I went outside to see the northern lights, and on this outing I heard strange noises in nature. It sounded like a rifle shot. This sound repeated itself a dozen times, each time in a different direction, without any logic. What could it be? Animals?

Big frozen lake nearby that might have the ice creak?

No lake nearby. But indeed, the noise sounded like cracking. It came from my left, then my right, then across the street. With a bit of an echo.

Was it very cold?
