Auch mal eine Idee für ein Geschenk. Norwegen will Finnland zum 100jährigen Unabhängigkeitsjubiläum reich beschenken -> Indem sie ihre Grenze etwas verschieben, würde der Gipfel des Haltitunturi daraufhin in Finnland liegen und somit den höchsten Punkt des Landes ausmachen. Mal schauen obs klappt.

Norway’s government has confirmed that for the centenary of Finland’s independence next year it is considering moving the border, gifting its Nordic neighbour a mountain peak that would be the country’s highest point. “There are a few formal difficulties and I have not yet made my final decision,” the Norwegian prime minister, Erna Solberg, told NRK, the national broadcaster. “But we are looking into it.”

At 1,324 metres above sea level, the highest point in Finland currently lies on a bleak mountain spur known as Hálditšohkka, part of a far larger fell known as Halti, more than 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle.
