Explore Live Cams in Finland

Finland (Suomi) is a northern European country of forests and water, covering about 130,560 square miles (338,145 km²). Around three-quarters of it is forest, and it has about 188,000 lakes, more than almost any other country, while in the far north the treeless fells of Lapland stretch up into the Arctic Circle.

Its most famous natural sight is the northern lights, which fill the winter sky over Lapland on clear, dark nights, while in summer the midnight sun means it never gets dark. Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in the country, is a maze of islands and forested shores. The brown bear is the national animal.

Lake Saimaa is the only home of the Saimaa ringed seal, one of the rarest seals in the world. Brown bears, wolves, lynx and wolverines roam the eastern forests along the Russian border, reindeer graze across Lapland, and the whooper swan, the national bird, nests on quiet northern lakes.

Did You Know? Finland has around 3 million saunas for about 5.6 million people, and sauna culture is recognized by UNESCO.
