Paatsjoki

The Paatsjoki River is a river that flows through Finland, Norway, and Russia. Since the end of the Continuation War in 1944, the river has marked parts of the Norway–Russia border. The river is the outlet from the large Lake Inari in Finland and flows through Norway and Russia to discharge into the Bøkfjorden (which later flows into the Varangerfjorden and then the Barents Sea), not far from the town of Kirkenes.

Located at 68.8917, 28.3667 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
