Finland is bathed by the Baltic Sea, exactly by the Gulf of Buthnia on the West and by the gulf of Finland in the South. Its territory extends on both sides of the Arctic Circle in the oriental part of Fennoscandie, what makes of her a Scandinavian country completely outside Scandinavia. Consisted by more than 3 000 lakes and uncountable islands, among which those of the autonomous archipelago of Åland, it occupies a total surface of 338 145 square kilometers between Russia in the East, Norway in the North and Sweden in the northwest, what makes it the fifth vastest country of the European Union.
