The freezing period normally extends from November to early June.
The most well known islands of the lake are Hautuumaasaari ("Graveyard Island"), which served as cemetery of ancient Sami people and Ukonkivi ("Ukko's Stone"), a historical sacrifice place of the ancient habitants of the area.

@joanieizready Thanks Joanie...This music is a Finnish tune and Lake Inari is in Finland...Andy who plays it is of Finnish descent...A lot of Finnish music is written in minor keys. We played a half dozen Finnish tunes in the accordion group I played in because two of our members were of Finnish ancestry. Fran
