Enontekio, Arctic Finland

Enontekio is a municipality in Lapland, the Arctic part of Finland, with an area of ​​approximately 8,400 square kilometers and a population of only 1,787 as of December 31, 2021. Just imagine, Shanghai has an area of ​​6,340.5 square kilometers, but a population of nearly 25 million. When driving on the snow-covered Enontekio Highway in winter, the probability of seeing Arctic reindeer is much higher than that of seeing people. Enontekio is located in the northwestern part of Finland, bordering Sweden and Norway. The border with Sweden is formed by the Muonio River and its tributary, the Conkameno River. The northern border with Norway occupies part of the Scandinavian Mountains. Halti, with an altitude of 1,324 meters, is located on the border between Finland and Norway. The altitude difference in the entire area is much larger than that in other areas of Finland, so it is also the area with the most beautiful natural scenery. You can watch the Northern Lights here at night, with almost no light pollution except for the moon. The village of Herta is the administrative center of the city. About one-fifth of the community's population is Sami, and the main industries are tourism and reindeer breeding. #OverseasTravel #Finland #FinlandTravel #FinlandEco-tourism #FinlandTourism #ArcticTour #NorthernLights #Finland #arctic #IceSnowWorld #IceSnowFantasy #IceSnowKingdom
