Why Inari matters
Inari is a small village far north, on the shore of a huge island-filled lake. It is the cultural centre of the Sámi people in Finland, with a museum, the Sámi parliament and craft shops. In winter, snow covers the lake and the northern lights are common, and in summer the midnight sun keeps the sky bright through the night. It is a place for slowing down.
Talking points
- It is the cultural centre of the Sámi people in Finland.
- Lake Inari is dotted with thousands of islands.
- The northern lights are a regular sight on clear winter nights.
