Short description of Kemi

Kemi is a coastal town on the Gulf of Bothnia in southern Finnish Lapland and is best known for its unique winter experiences on the frozen sea. The town is famous for its icebreaker cruises aboard the Sampo, the SnowCastle area, and the opportunity to walk on the sea ice or float among the ice in special survival suits. Unlike most destinations in Lapland, Kemi's maritime setting shapes the winter experience as much as its Arctic landscape. Combining the heritage of icebreaking with distinctive winter attractions, Kemi ranks among the most unusual destinations in northern Finland.
