Tundras, pristine forests and countless mirror-smooth lakes make this country a great place for many animal species. The area around Kuhmo<\/strong> on the Finnish-Russian border is home to a bear population and on the Finnish taiga you can spot lynx and wolves. The wolverine has its habitat in the Elimyssalo<\/strong> and Iso-Palonen<\/strong> nature reserves in the Kainuu wilderness area.<\/strong> And all over the country, hidden in the dense forests, you’ll find the largest deer species in the world; the moose. The Saimaa ringed seal is one of the most endangered seals in the world and is hiding in Linnansaari National Park<\/strong> .<\/p>\n Lapland<\/strong> in the far north of Scandinavia is the habitat of the Sami, a nomadic people who roamed around with reindeer. Summers in Lapland are endless and in winter there is a good chance that you will see the magical Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). As you travel through Lapland, don’t forget to stop in Rovaniemi<\/strong> to visit Santa Claus. Helsinki<\/strong> is full of modern architecture and artlovers will be excited.
