On Google Earth, the village of Kaaresuvanto, Finland appears to be correctly shown. However, in that region, and unfortunately, the Wikipedia article there mentions Karesuando, but Karesuando appears as a Swedish village on the other side of a river which separates Finland and Sweden. That is, apparently there is a Kaaresuvanto, Finland, and a Karesuando, Sweden, separated by a river.

Traditionally finish speaking? Strange, a few decades ago most of the inhabitans spoke saami (indigenous people of Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula i Russia). Google might give you some historical background on why saami today is nearly extincted in Finland and Sweden. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.93.97.2 (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
