Sweden and Finland share a border through the centre of the Tornio-Haparanda twin city. About 21,200 people live on the Finnish side. The Tornionjoki river forms the national boundary, and residents cross freely between the countries for shopping, work, and services. The IKEA store on the Swedish side draws Finnish customers seeking lower prices on certain goods. Outokumpu's Tornio stainless steel works produces chromium-based steel products and is the municipality's largest industrial employer.
Maupertuis, the French scientist who led an expedition to measure the Earth's shape in Lapland in 1736-37, conducted observations near Tornio. The expedition confirmed the Newtonian prediction that the Earth is flattened at the poles. The Aavasaksa hill, about eighty kilometres north, provides midnight sun viewing in June.
