Rovaniemi,
Lapin Lääni
,
Finland
Lying just south of the
Arctic Circle
,
Rovaniemi
is the capital of
Lapin Lääni
, (
Finland
's '
Lapland
Province
'). It is believed to have been continuously populated since the
stone age
, and had a population in 2001, of around 35,500.
The
Kemijoki
and
Ounasjoki
rivers
meet here.
Rovaniemi houses the
Arktikum
centre, a
museum
of
science
and
natural history
as related to the
arctic
culture
.
The city was
razed
to the ground by retreating
Nazi
soldiers in 1944, and so a new plan was devised by
Alvar Aalto
. The map of the main streets is in the shape of
reindeer
antlers
. While looking great on maps or by
helicopter
, this unfortunately means you have to walk much further than expected to reach anywhere.
