Kittil\u00E4 (Inari Sami: Kitt\u00E2l, Northern Sami: Gihttel) is a municipality of Finland within the area of the former Lappi province. The place is hilly and near-permanently covered in snow and ice. Finland is known as \"The country of thousands lakes and islands\" Thier about ~188,000 lakes (larger than 500 m2 or 0.12 acres) and 179,000 islands. Its largest lake, Saimaa, is the fourth largest in Europe. The highest point in Finland is a spur of R\u00E1isduattarh\u00E1ldi at 1,324 m (4,344 ft) known as H\u00E1ldit\u0161ohkka at the border of Norway. In the K\u00F6ppen climate classification, the whole of Finland lies in the boreal zone, characterized by warm summers and freezing winters. Within the country, the temperateness varies considerably between the southern coastal regions and the extreme north, showing characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate. Finland is near enough to the Atlantic Ocean to be continuously warmed by the Gulf Stream, so it is warmer than Siberia, Alaska and Greenland. The once glacier covered landscape is now 86% covered in coniferous taiga forests and fens, with little cultivated land. The forests consists of pine, spruce, birch, and other species. The rest of the land is peat bog, rough farmland, built on or bare granite rock. In 1950, 46% of Finnish workers worked in agriculture and a third lived in urban areas. Industry was starting up in the towns, but many emigrated to Sweden between 1955 and 1975 to find jobs. Finland is the largest producer of wood in Europe and among the largest in the world and a leader in chipboard, paper and cardboard production. They now make other things like electrical components, mobile phones, gravel, steel and chemicals."@en . . "Soviet/NATO invasion of Finland"@en .
