Cap of the North

The area of Nordkalotten

The Cap of the North, also known as the North Calotte,[1] (Nordkalotten in Norwegian and Swedish, or Pohjoiskalotti in Finnish) is the regions of Norway, Sweden, and Finland located north of the Arctic Circle. It usually[according to whom?] consists of the counties Finnmark, Nordland and Troms in Norway, Norrbotten in Sweden, and Lapland in Finland. The region has a subarctic climate and is home to the majority of the Sámi people.

The region contains over 30% of the total area of the three countries, but it houses less than 5% of their population.[2]

The Kola Peninsula was considered a part of this region until 1917, but this was changed[according to whom?] after the Russian Revolution, with the new Soviet Union closing their borders.[2]

Sámi historian Per Guttorm Kvenangen has criticized the term Nordkalotten for displacing the overlapping term Sápmi and hiding the "Sámi character" of northern Fennoscandia.[3]
