Rovaniemi (Inari Sami: Ruávinjargâ, Northern Sami: Roavenjárga and Roavvenjárga, Skolt Sami: Ruävnjargg) is the administrative capital and the centre of commerce of Finland's northernmost Province, Lapland. It is situated close to the Arctic Circle and between the hills of Ounasvaara and Korkalovaara, at the confluence of the Kemijoki River and its tributary, the Ounasjoki River. The city and the surrounding Rovaniemen maalaiskunta (Rural municipality of Rovaniemi) were merged into one on January 1, 2006. The new municipality has an area of 8,016 km² and an approximate population of 60,000. It is the largest city in Europe and one of the largest cities in the world by area - though much of it is covered by forests.

red whale
Made by filipeb
This incredibly red bobble required the efforts down to the tears of a small team to colour it. I still remember vividly the team leader returning home at 2 am, the night before the opening, in a state of shock and completely covered in red snow. It is made of snow cast over a shell which was later removed from the inside through a tunnel dug at one end. Unfortunately it lasted less than everybody expected. It blew up in the day of the opening of the Snow Show because of the difference of temperatures between its interior and exterior...somebody had had the fabulous idea of leaving some lamps inside.
