| Lake
Inari is in the Paatsjoki water system and it is the third largest and second deepest lake
in Finland. Its water level is regulated. It is 50 kilometres wide, 80 kilometres long and
92 metres deep. Its coastline stretches for 3,308 kilometres and it has 3,318 islands. The
water in the lake could cover Finland with a five-centimetre layer. Its shores are steep and stony, but there are also sheltered bays and beaches. The lake has many very long, narrow sounds. The shore and water vegetation and micro-organisms all reflect its bleakness and northern location. Sea phase – Part
