The area of Nordkalotten

The Cap of the North (Шаблон:Lang in Norwegian and Swedish, or Шаблон:Lang in Finnish) is the regions of Norway, Sweden, and Finland located north of the Arctic Circle. It usuallyШаблон:Says who? consists of the counties Finnmark, Nordland and Troms in Norway, Norrbotten in Sweden, and Lapland in Finland. The region has a subarctic climate and is home to the majority of the Sámi people.

The region contains over 30% of the total area of the three countries, but it houses less than 5% of their population.[1]

The Kola Peninsula was considered a part of this region until 1917, but this was changedШаблон:Says who? after the Russian Revolution, with the new Soviet Union closing their borders.[1]

Sámi historian Per Guttorm Kvenangen has criticized the term Шаблон:Lang for displacing the overlapping term Sápmi and hiding the "Sámi character" of northern Fennoscandia.[2]
