Finland is a Nordic country located in northern Europe, though it's technically not a Scandinavian country. One third of the country is located within the arctic circle, resulting in very cold temperatures and 7 months of snow per year in some areas. It also results in arctic nights called "Kaamos" during which the sun never rises above the horizon, and "nightless nights" during which the sun never sets. The south of the country experiences less of these extremes, but it's still very much a northern nation.

An interesting part of Finland's history is when it was ruled by Sweden. A result of this is that today there is a Swedish cultural and linguistic minority living in parts of Finland, and Swedish is one of the country's official languages. This includes areas of the southern and western coasts, as well as the autonomous region of Åland where Swedish is the ONLY official language (even though it's part of Finland). There are a lot of surprising facts about Finland!
