How and when was Finland settled?
Where did the first Finns come from and how did they get there? Why did they settle in such an inhospitable place? what is their ethnic heritage?

Apparently first settled around 8500 B.C., after the ice sheet retreated. People go where there are habitable places, essentially they followed the ice.

I would follow the ice, especially if it was vanilla flavoured.

With Haighs chocolate topping. You know we still have some of that, we should get some ice.

What?

I thought they followed Santa Claus there from Turkey.

With that weather, no wonder he moved to Spain.

Should we tell them about Mr. Cristmas? :roll:

Everybody knows the christmas dude is a commercialized copy-cat that doesn't really exist. Sinterklaas is real though.

Is not! There's no such thing as Sinterklaas! :P
