Lapland on stamp in Finland
First class stamp of Finland

Stamp depicts a wintry fjeld view
The stamp depicts a wintry fjeld view and a reindeer, and the sun downing behind the fjeld tops. "I have set the reindeer as fixed point for the endless changing of views and lights. It looks at the view opening in front of it from the top of the fjeld", says Mika Launis about his work. "The reindeer gives people eyes to look at something they would not otherwise see."Tourist attraction
Lapland is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Finland. Clean nature that changes its outfit every season, peace and silence, and naturally Santa Claus with his own post office in the Arctic Circle, attract tourists to the North around the year. The winter is the top season but the summer with bright summer nights and the autumn with Ruska are heydays of tourism as well: about a half million tourists visit Rovaniemi, the town of the Arctic Circle, yearly. The Rovaniemi area offers tourists both high quality accommodation services and many adventure opportunities. The adventure program includes, depending on the season, hiking, rapids-shooting, skiing and snowmobile treks, reindeer and husky drives etc.Postage stamp issue: Finland, 9 October 2002
