LIGHTS OF THE NORTH

Lapland

Lapland is the largest and northernmost of the regions of Finland. Lapland lies largely north of the Arctic Circle. The climate is subarctic and vegetation is sparse, except in the densely forested southern portion. North of the Arctic Circle polar night characterises the winter season and midnight sun the summer season—both phenomena are longer the further north one goes. The Aurora Borealis can be seen in all parts of Lapland.
