The border between Norway and Finland is long. It is a land and river border between two tripoints. The western tripoint is Treriksröset on the Swedish border. The eastern tripoint is on Muotkavaara on the Russian border. The border was defined in a treaty from 1751, which also included the Swedish-Norwegian border. In the period 1738-1751 there were field investigations and negotiations on the border, although the Finnish part needed less negotiation. Cairns were erected after that with last one at Nesseby in 1766. A treaty in 1826 with Russia which possessed Finland, defined the easternmost part of the border. Between 1920-1944, the Petsamo area belonged to Finland, so the Finland–Norway border extened along the present Norway–Russia border to the ocean. The Finland–Norway border is open as both countries are part of the Schengen Area. It is legal to cross the border anywhere if no customs declaration or passport check is needed. There is an wide clear-cut zone along the land border. Almost half of the border follows the rivers Anarjohka and Tana. ==List of road border crossings== From east to west:〔(Alphabetical list of customs offices )〕 * Neiden (road 893/971), N * Polmak (road 895), N * Utsjoki (road E75), F * Karigasniemi (road 92), F * Kivilompolo (road 93), F * Helligskogen (road E8), N :N = customs station on the Norwegian side :F = customs station on the Finnish side All road crossings on this border have customs stations, as opposed to the Norway–Sweden border. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finland–Norway border」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
