What do you give a country that has 188,000 lakes for a birthday present? Its highest mountain back, obviously.
Norway’s government has confirmed that for the centenary of Finland’s independence next year it is considering moving the border, gifting its Nordic neighbour a mountain peak that would be the country’s highest point.
