Enontekiö, Municipal administrative center in Lapland, Finland
The municipality of Enontekiö spans 8,400 square kilometers between Sweden and Norway, making it one of Finland's largest and least populated regions.
The first human settlements in Enontekiö date back to 6,000 BC when the Komsa culture arrived after the retreat of glaciers from the last ice age.

The municipality offers primary education facilities across its communities, with specific provisions for Sami language instruction to support the indigenous population.
