Cap of the North
The Cap of the North consists of the counties Troms og Finnmark and Nordland in Norway, Norrbotten County in Sweden, Lapland/Lappi Region in Finland and Murmansk Oblast in Russia.
This area is roughly equal to the parts of Fennoscandia lying north of the Arctic Circle. The region has a subarctic climate and is home to the majority of the Sámi people.
Historian Per Guttorm Kvenanger has criticized the term Nordkalotten for displacing the overlapping term Sápmi and hiding the "Sami character" of northern Fennoscandia.
