Here is some information and couple of pictures about Finland.

Other things which Finland is famous for

We have four seasons, and each of them is very different;

In spring the daily temperature is about 10°C. Spring starts in April or May, depending the place. Spring ends when all of the snow has melted and temperature raises over 10 degrees.
Summer
Summer is the warmest time of a year, and the temperature stays above 10 degrees. It can raise all the way up to 25-30 °C. Summer starts late May in southern Finland and lasts until the middle September. In Lapland it starts about a month later and ends a month earlier.
Autumn
In autumn the daily temperature remains below 10°C. In northern Finland autumn starts in lasts weeks of August, elsewhere it starts a bit later. Autumn ends when the first snow falls. In northern Finland that happens in September and elsewhere in October. Finnish autumn is famous for its colorfulness.
