Finland has a lot of lakes!

      Finland's fresh bodies of water cover 33,000 km, accounting for one tenth of Finland’s area.  We are staying in a cabin on Lake Inari, noted in red.  We are way above the arctic circle in Lapland.

There are at least 55,000 lakes that are at least 200 metres wide. If lake is defined to be a body of standing water larger than 500 square metres, then there are 187,888 lakes in Finland.

The wood fired sauna is on the left. There were no visible neighbors.  It was cool, 60 F. weather.
