Norway is considering giving Finland a mountain for its 100 year anniversary next year. Thanks Norway!

in #articles8 years ago

What do you give a country that has 188,000 lakes for a birthday present? Its highest mountain back, obviously.

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.

Halti’s summit, at 1,365 metres high, is a kilometre away in Norway. But moving the border barely 40 metres further up the mountainside would put Hálditšohkka’s 1,331-metre summit in Finland – and make the country’s highest point seven metres higher.
