*In Finland there are approximately 168,000 lakes of over {{convert|0.05|ha}} in size, and 57,000 of over {{convert|1|ha}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Environment and Natural Resources > Geographical data |url=http://www.stat.fi/tup/suoluk/suoluk_alue_en.html |website=Tilastokeskus (Statistics Finland) |access-date=13 July 2019}}</ref> A research project by [[National Land Survey of Finland]] is currently (2019) seeking to clarify the definition of 'lake' and the number of lakes in Finland.<ref>{{cite news |title=Maanmittauslaitos selvitti: Suomi on tuhansien järvien maa |url=https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10875949 |access-date=13 July 2019 |agency=Yle |language=fi}}</ref>
*The Finnish capital, [[Helsinki]], is the northernmost capital city on the mainland of any continent, and ranks as second globally (the Icelandic capital Reykjavik takes the first place globally).
*At {{convert|1313|km|mi}}, Finland has the second-longest border with [[Russia]] of any European country, surpassed only by Ukraine ({{convert|1576|km|mi|abbr=on|disp=or}}).
*The third largest lake, [[Lake Inari]] in the Lapland province of extreme northern Finland, has a surface area of {{convert|1040.28|km2|sqmi}}, a total shore length of {{convert|3308|km|mi}}, a maximum depth of {{convert|92|m|ft}}, some 3,318 islands, and a total water volume of {{convert|15.9|km3}}. Despite its size and numerous recreational opportunities, the lake is scarcely visited sheerly because of its {{convert|1100|km|mi|adj=on}} distance from Helsinki, and its daunting distance to other similarly populated areas in the south of the country.
