Finnmark
Finnmark ((北部サーミ語:'Finnmárku'), (フィンランド語:Ruija), (ロシア語:Финнмарк)) is a county in the extreme northeastern part of Norway. By land, it borders Troms county to the west, Finland (Lapland region) to the south, and Russia (Murmansk Oblast) to the east, and by water, the Norwegian Sea (Atlantic Ocean) to the northwest, and the Barents Sea (Arctic Ocean) to the north and northeast.
The county was formerly known as ''Finmarkens amt'' or ''Vardøhus amt''. Since 2002, it has had two official names: Finnmark (Norwegian) and Finnmárku (Sami language). It is part of the Sápmi region, which spans four countries, as well as the Barents Region, and is the largest and least populated county of Norway.
Situated at the northernmost part of continental Europe, where the Norwegian coastline swings eastward, Finnmark has always been an area where East meets West, in culture as well as in nature and geography. Vardø, the easternmost municipality in Norway, is located farther east than the cities of St. Petersburg and Istanbul.
==Name==
The Old Norse form of the name was ''Finnmǫrk''. The first element is ''finn(ar)'', the Norse name for the Sámi people. The last element is ''mǫrk'' which means "woodland" or "borderland". In Norse times the name was referring to any places where Sámi people were living (also parts of Southern Norway).
