Pohjaviiva

Pohjaviiva is a Finnish term that translates to " northern line" or "bottom line" depending on the context. It is often used in geographical and cartographical discussions to refer to the northernmost extent or boundary of a particular phenomenon or region. For instance, it could describe the northern limit of a specific plant species' distribution or the northernmost point of a geological formation.

In a more abstract sense, pohjaviiva can also signify the fundamental or ultimate consequence of a situation, akin to the English phrase "the bottom line." This usage implies the core outcome or the most important takeaway after considering all factors. It is a term that bridges literal geographical meaning with a figurative sense of consequence. The specific meaning is usually discernible from the surrounding text and the context in which it is employed.
