Lapland

Reindeer is synonymous with Northern Finland and Lapland in particular and the 200,000 strong reindeer stock is an essential source of livelihood for Lapland’s people. But the different parts of Lapland are clearly distinct; the south and the west are maritime, but central and eastern Lapland are known for their tree-covered fells. Northern Lapland is more barren, and only stunted deciduous trees and bushes grow above the tree limit.
