Rovaniemi sub-region

Rovaniemi sub-region occupies a forested inland expanse of central Lapland in northern Finland. Its terrain is shaped by taiga, bogs, lakes and broad river valleys, with the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki meeting in the city of Rovaniemi. The Arctic Circle runs through Rovaniemi, the administrative centre of Lapland and home to the Arktikum science centre and museum. Beyond the city, the sub-region extends into quieter country where reindeer herding remains part of Sámi and northern Finnish life. Ranua, to the south-east, is known for its wildlife park, which focuses on Arctic species.
