This week, a spokesman for the Norwegian prime minister told reporters that the country was considering giving its neighbor Finland a pretty big gift for its 100th birthday. Worse still, while a spur on Halti known as Hálditšohkka is the tallest peak in Finland, the actual top of the mountain isn't in Finland. It would barely be noticeable," Harsson told reporters. The idea gained a little more momentum this week, however, and Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said she was aware of the issue during an interview with Norway's TV2. The page called for Norway to give Finland the mountain as a gift to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Finland's declaration of independence from the Russian Republic in 1917.
