| About Finland |
|
|
| Finland is one of Europe's most sparsely populated nations, with a population of just 5.2 million strewn across a pristine wilderness of legendary beauty. Forests of pine, fir, and birch blanket two-thirds of the country. The presence of around 180,000 lakes makes the landscape of southern and central Finland look, from the air, as if a giant mirror has been smashed across it. Only in the far northern Lapland, deep into the Arctic Circle, does this patchwork of green and blue give way to tundra; here winter darkness is alleviated only by the brilliant green-and-orange displays of the aurora borealis. But this is also the land of the midnight sun where some 5,000 ethnic Lapps or Sami people herd reindeer, catch fish, and make handicrafts for the burgeoning tourist industry. |
