'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.
Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.
The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."
Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.
All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.

'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.
Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.
The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."
Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.
All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.
Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.
In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.
But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.
The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.
Warning signs on the beach at Scarborough, north Yorkshire where the sea is unsafe ,the water quality in Scarborough is poor due to the impact of sewage being discharged into the sea.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.
Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.
In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.
But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.
The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.
