Many great men have come here to gather their thoughts and gain new strength. The wilderness of Lapland has given content to the poetic texts and man has been allowed to face the Almighty.
In Finland, tourism in Lapland began in 1921, when the Arctic Ocean connection to Petsamo made it possible for Finns to study and travel in that unique area. Although this joy lasted only a couple of decades, it opened the eyes of many to see the beauty of Lapland and planted in our hearts an indelible love for this barren region.
In Lapland, families live on both sides of the Finnish-Norwegian border, and the borders are just a formality for them. In Karigasniemi, for example, many Norwegians go to Härkönen's village store to buy their groceries from one of Finland's most unique and versatile K-stores, which serves in Sámi, Finnish, Norwegian or even English. The inhabitants of these regions often speak Northern Sámi or Kven as their mother tongue, which is an old Finnish cognate language. The Ruija area extends from Tromsø to Kirkenes on the Norwegian side and is also known as Finnmark.
