Most of the lakes are united by river channels into the internal system. The northern headwaters are characterized by poor soil, and their arctic forests and swamps are replaced by tundra as you move northward. Most of Finland’s territory is dominated by a temperate climate with cold winters and cool summers. A continental climate however is experienced in the north.
