Selännes

Selännes is a geographical location. It is situated in the northern part of Finland. The area is characterized by its remote wilderness and is known for its natural beauty. Selännes is primarily composed of forests, lakes, and some marshlands, typical of the Lapland region. The population density is very low, with most inhabitants living in small, scattered settlements. The local economy is historically tied to natural resources, including forestry and, to a lesser extent, traditional livelihoods like reindeer herding and fishing.

The climate in Selännes is subarctic, with long, cold winters and short, mild summers. Snowfall is significant during the winter months, and the frozen lakes and rivers are a prominent feature of the landscape. During the summer, the region experiences the phenomenon of the midnight sun, where daylight lasts for extended periods. The natural environment offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and cross-country skiing, attracting a small number of tourists interested in remote nature experiences. Access to Selännes is typically via smaller roads, and its isolation is a defining aspect of its character.
