Ikosylläeltä

Ikosylläeltä is a village on the island of Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland. It is situated in the municipality of Utsjoki, which is the northernmost municipality in Finland. The village has a small population of around a few dozen inhabitants.

Ikosylläeltä is a remote area, accessible mainly by snowmobile or foot in the winter months. The terrain is rugged and largely unpopulated, making it a suitable area for outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, and fishing. In the summer, the tundra landscape provides a vast expanse of open country and the possibility of encountering wildlife such as reindeer, wolverine, and eagles.

The landscape in Ikosylläeltä is dominated by treeless tundra and rolling hills of Arctic terrain. The region offers a wide range of fossils of ancient plants and insects, which provide valuable information for scientists studying the region's geology and paleontology.

Ikosylläeltä is also a significant area for Indigenous Sami communities, who have traditionally used the region for hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding. The name "Ikosylläeltä" is of Sami origin and roughly translates to "Famous Riverbank".

Owing to its remote location, Ikosylläeltä remains one of the least visited areas in the entire Finnish Lakeland region. However, for those who venture forth to this region, the rewards include opportunities for outdoor adventure and unparalleled wilderness experiences.
