Lake Lappajärvi is an impact crater, caused by an asteroid 78 million years ago.

3:57 Reindeers, coat is chaning thats why those look so poor. From thicker winter coat to shorter summer coat... There were (or maybe still is) a project to put those tag-collars to reindeers, those are reflectors so drivers can see them better on night time (or winter almost all the time).

[@Aqnde]

In Suomussalmi-Kuusamo region more reindeer have the tags than in Northern Lapland it seems like. In Inari for example only the herd leader might have one while in Kuusamo every animal of the herd might have necklaces.

In Finland we have only towns (cities) or municipalities. The smallest town we have is Kaskinen with 1240 residents and the biggest municipality is Nurmijärvi with 45000 residents.
There are 107 towns and 201 municipalities.

[@Kerppu68]

We also have villages and the biggest of them is Jyväskylä

[@gozamite]

@@Kerppu68 it's the 7th biggest town (or city) in Finland.

[@cabbelos]

@@gozamite yeah but kylä

[@etiosooopse5618]

1st, municipality is called Suomussalmi (population about 7000) and center of Suomussalmi is called Ämmänsaari (population about 4000). The dam is Ämmä hydropower plant.

[@tuoppi42]

Surprisingly, the southernmost one was most familiar to me. Good locations this time.

[@OldMan_PJ]

For the second one you were at a 'T' intersection but selected a straight road.

[@oh2mp]

Nice spread on small places and such ones that you hadn't probably seen before!
You asked about the transimissions in cars. Manual transmissions have been more popular in all Europe, but in the past 20 years automatics have been getting more common. Eg. we have 3 cars in our household and they all have automatic.
Reindeers are tagged because they are semi domesticated mountain deers and everyone of them are somebody's property. You found reindeers from very south. They are basically unexistent south from that.

[@BoloH.]

Red road is always a dead giveaway. There are couple of red roads on the mainland, but I think the connecting roads are regular grey.

[@timojuustila7727]

How about M-markets in the future?

[@ringoftorment]

In Finnish, "town" and "city" are interchangeable and municipalities can freely declare themselves to be one. We often just call small towns villages.

[@etiosooopse5618]

At least some competition if there is both S and K.

[@Rishadan365]

That was harder than I expected. Still got that 25k points

[@joonasjanatuinen5474]

Obviously nowadays most new non-electric cars have automatic transmissions. Historically manual transmission has been "standard" and there's plenty of those cars still around.

[@KalleKilponen]

2.24 It's Ämmän, not Amman. Ämmä is an older east Finnish dialect for grand mother. (Though it's also sometimes used in a derogatory way in modern Finnish, where it's roughly similar to "bitch" in English.)

[@aeschynanthus_sp]

The map creator seems to have taken the view that centres of municipalities are towns.
Ämmänsaari is the centre of Suomussalmi. The church is in the "church village" of Suomussalmi, some 11 kilometres from Ämmänsaari (by road). Ämmänsaari is named after the rapids Ämmäkoski, and now there is the dam and power plant in the rapids.
Lappajärvi the lake is a remains of a meteorite crater. The meteorite hit Earth 78 million years ago, and its size was approximately 1.6 km.
Godby is the centre of Finström. It's five kilometres to Finström church.

[@Tuomas_Oskari]

Ämmänsaari? Porissakin on sen niminen kaupunginosa.

[@aeschynanthus_sp]

@@Tuomas_Oskari I don't know Pori well and I can't find Ämmänsaari on map there. Where is it? There is an islet in Pori, in Lake Inhottujärvi, called Ämmänsaari (it was formerly in Noormarkku).

You visited some historically particularly violent places this time. Åland has a war of its own: "The First Victoria Cross - The Battle of Bomarsund 1854" and "Oolanin sota [Finnish Crimean war song] [English and Finnish lyrics]". Nowadays Kalajoki is known for it's beaches, Venetian Festival and Jukupark water park, but The Greater Wrath devastated Kalajoki especially in the 1714: "Isoviha-dokumenttielokuva". Kauhava is known for the puukko knife making tradition and the particular region for the 1800s knife-fighters: "Traditional Crafts of Finland - Episode 1 - Puukko Knife Making" and "Isontalon Antti - Traditional Finnish Song [Sanat] + [English Lyrics]". Maybe it's just fitting that you had hard time finding your bearing, because in Hyrynsalmi there's an eastern route hideaway cabin used in 1915-1916 by those, who were heading to Germany to get military training to fight against the Russian oppression. They were being chased to stop them from getting to Germany: "Hallan Ukkon ja Hallan pirtin muistomerkki", "Lockstedter Lager - Der Finnentag in Hohenlockstedt", "Tie itsenäisyyteen - Suomi ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa THE GREAT WAR SPECIAL", "Jääkärit väreissä, Lockstedt 1916", "The Finnish Jägers In World War 1 I THE GREAT WAR On The Road" and "Finnish Army Song - Jääkärimarssi". Couple of decades later Suomussalmi become a Winter War stage for the viewing world to watch: "Raatteen Portti Raatteen Portti-Talvisotamuseo", "British Movietone Scenes In Finland (4 Jan 1940) Finns Ambush", "Talvisota mottitaktiikka" and "MatkallaKainuussa Raatteenportti and Winter War Monument".
