Nunnanen

Nunnanen lies on a ridge near Lakes Vieltojärvi and Venejärvi in the eastern part of Enontekiö. Its name is probably derived from the Sámi word for a nose or projecting point, a fitting description of the ridge. The surrounding country belonged to the routes of Sámi reindeer herders, who moved between southern coniferous forests and summer pastures toward the Arctic coast.
