Did you know? Pelkosenniemi

Pelkosenniemi sits 170 km north of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, making it one of Finland's northernmost inhabited settlements.

The municipality was formed in 1881 and takes its name from the word 'pelkonen,' referring to a small clearing or open area in the forest.

Pelkosenniemi experiences polar night (kaamos) for several weeks in winter and midnight sun in summer, with 24-hour daylight from early June to early July.

The region is a prime location for viewing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), with clear, dark skies from September through March.

Reindeer herding remains a significant part of local Sámi culture and economy in the Pelkosenniemi area.

The Pyhä-Luosto National Park, featuring fell hiking and pristine boreal forest, lies just south of the municipality.
