About Sea Lapland and Torne River Valley

Mostly south of the Arctic Circle, much of it not part of the reindeer husbandry area, this is a rather flat part of Lapland with water (the Bothnian Bay and Torne River) and Sweden to the west. There is a lot of cooperation and informal contacts – including family ties – across the river. While this is not what most people think of when they hear "Lapland", it still features deep forests, mires and a river with good salmon fishing and opportunities for whitewater sports. It also has beautiful lakes such as Miekojärvi. The Arctic Circle crosses the region in Juoksenki, southern Pello.
