#47 Finnmarksvidda



Finnmarksvidda (English: Finnmark plateau/highland) is Norway's largest plateau, with an area greater than 22,000 square kilometres. The plateau lies about 300 to 500 metres above sea level. Approximately 36% of Finnmark county lies on the Finnmarksvidda.
The plateau includes extensive birch woods, pine barrens, bogs and glacially formed lakes. Finnmarksvidda is situated north of the Arctic Circle and is best known as the land of the once nomadic Sami people and their reindeer herds. Their shelters in the tundra, are still in use in winter time.



Finnmarksvidda, located in the interior of the county has a continental climate with the coldest winter temperatures in Norway: the coldest temperature ever recorded was −51.4 °C in Karasjok on 1 January 1886. The 24-hour averages for January and July in the same location are −17.1 °C and 13.1 °C, while the yearly average is merely −2.4 °C. Precipitation is only 366 millimetres per year. Karasjok has recorded up to 32.4 °C in July, giving a possible yearly amplitude of 84°C, which is rare in Europe
