The Baltic Sea. It has amazing beaches in Poland.
What is the temperature in Finland in the summer?
Most of Finland has a subarctic climate but the southern part has a humid continental climate. Temperatures are comparatively mild for its latitude because of the moderating influence of the North Atlantic Current, Baltic Sea, and more than 60,000 lakes.
Finland has four very distinct seasons, but on average the winter is really dominant and year is really cold and dark all over the country. From November to March, and sometimes even till April, the thermometer is often below zero Celsius and -20 Celsius is nothing special during February. In Sodankylä (in Lappi) has had -40 degree Celsius and below several times in the last 10 years. The summer is really short, lasting about 2-3 months and is usually at 15-25 Celsius depending on the location.
Finland has three main kinds of weather, the coastal weather and the inland weather and the north weather. The coastal weather (especially the area between Vaasa-Turku-Helsinki) is a lot windier and warmer than the inland and the north weather (pretty much everything north from Oulu) is a lot colder and darker for longer period of time.
The Gulf of Bothnia (which is the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea) on the west, and the Gulf of Finland (which is the easternmost arm of the Baltic Sea) on the South.
(NB: Bothnia in the Baltic is not to be confused with Bosnia in the Balkans!)
There is no border with the Berents Sea in the Arctic, because northern Finland is now landlocked by northern Norway and north western Russia.
There is also no border with Lake Ladoga as that is entirely within the Republic of Karelia in Russia today.
Finland used to border these two bodies of water, but after World War II, both Pechenga/Petsamo to the north and the Karelia region in the south east were ceded to the USSR.
How far is Finland from the UK?
We had a flight time estimate of 8 hours 20 mins Miami to London, and another was 2 hours 30 mins London to Helsinki. Rounding up makes in-air time about 11 hours. Time spent in airports and between flights is difficult to forecast. Flying from Miami to Europe, you "lose" clock time, making your long trip appear to take seven hours LONGER. (USA EST is -5 GMT, Finland is +2 GMT)
How did Finland become a country?
According to archaeological evidence, the area now comprising Finland was settled at the latest around 8500 BCE during the Stone Age as the ice shield of the last ice age receded. The artifacts the first settlers left behind present characteristics that are shared with those found in Estonia, Russia and Norway. The earliest people were hunter-gatherers, using stone tools. There is also evidence of carved stone animal heads. The first pottery appeared in 3000 BCE when settlers from the East brought in the Comb Ceramic culture. The arrival of the Corded Ware culture in southern coastal Finland between 3,000-2,500 BCE coincided with the start of agriculture. Even with the introduction of agriculture, hunting and fishing continued to be important parts of the subsistence economy, especially in the northern and eastern parts of the country.[citation needed. The Bronze Age (1500-500 BCE) and Iron Age (500 BCE-1200 CE) were characterised by extensive contacts with other cultures in the Fennoscandian and Baltic regions. There is no consensus on when Finno-Ugric languages and Indo-European languages were first spoken in the area of contemporary Finland. (Wikipedia)
