those characterized by numerous lakes in the central part of the
country; small and medium sized coastal rivers; and large and
medium sized rivers of northern Finland (Fig. 1b) (Mustonen,
1986; Korhonen and Kuusisto, 2010). Thousands of lakes (4500
over 0.5 km2 and 188,000 lakes of at least 0.05 ha) that cover about
10% of the total area of Finland give the watersheds in central

horizontal and more, suggesting that extensional forces play a large role. Figure 9 includes
the mechanisms of 82 out of the 99 earthquakes in total located between 17 and 26 km
depth and thus shows nearly the same results as described earlier for that interval, that the
tension axis is chiefly horizontal

Short summary
Despite the documented severity and lasting geomorphic imprint of the 1362 and 1727 jökulhlaups from Öræfajökull, there is scant information about the routing and extent of these floods. Using field observations, aerial photographs, and modern-day analogues

In recent years, Arctic nations have consolidated their cooperation in the fields of meteorology and Arctic hydrology, to increase monitoring and research on Arctic warming and into various components of the Arctic Hydrological Cycle.
