EXPLORING THE ARCHIPELAGO
Off the Kemi/Tornio coast, the Perämeri National Park is an archipelago of small islands
that's an important conservation area for seals and a richly populated bird habitat. You'll
need a boat (or snowmobile) to explore; ask at the Kemi or Tornio tourist office about
renting one.
Tornio
016 / Pop 22,530
Right on the impressive Tornionjoki, northern Europe's longest free-flowing river, Tornio
is joined to its Swedish counterpart Haparanda by short bridges. Cross-border shopping
has boomed here in recent years, with new malls popping up like mushrooms. Note: Fin-
land is an hour ahead of Sweden.
