•Frozen north no more: Hotter summers set Lapland ablaze
80% Informative
17 wildfires have broken out this summer in Finnish Lapland's Inari region.
A lack of precipitation has dried out the soil and the vegetation around Lake Inari making the terrain highly susceptible to fires.
Climate change is likely a link between the fires and climate change, according to Finnish Meteorological Institute researcher.
Many Finnish wildfires have been started by campfires, despite official wildfire warnings.
Even if a campfire looks extinguished, embers can be reignited by a gust of wind.
Any open fire or fire that can spread across the ground or by airborne sparks is forbidden during a wildfire warning.
Those enjoying nature should pack a gas camping stove instead.
