lapland
Lapland is a region in the northern part of Finland and parts of Russia, Norway, and Sweden. It's known as the home of the indigenous Sami people and for its extreme cold temperatures. It's also famous for its natural phenomena including the midnight sun, polar nights, and the Northern Lights. It is often associated with Christmas and Santa Claus, particularly in Finland where several tourist attractions related to this theme are located.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Lapland
a stretch of country in the N. of Europe, between the Atlantic and the White Sea; is divided between Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Its climate is very severe; mountainous in the W., it becomes more level in the E., where are many marshes, lakes, and rivers; the summer is never dark, and there are six to eight weeks of winter never light. The Lapps, of whom 18,000 are in Norwegian Lapland, are closely allied to the Finns, small of stature, thick lipped, and with small piercing eyes; proverbially uncleanly, not very intelligent, are good-natured, but untruthful and parsimonious; nominally Christian, but very superstitious; they are kindly treated by both Norway and Sweden. The mountain Lapps are nomads, whose wealth consists of herds of reindeer, which supply nearly all their wants. The sea Lapps live by fishing. The forest and river Lapps, originally nomads, have adopted a settled life, domesticated their reindeer, and taken to hunting and fishing.
