Lapland’s ely center will measure the ice thickness in Lapland’s largest natural rivers this and next week. Measurements are made from Simojoki all the way to Ivalojoki, and they determine the thickness of the steel ice.
With the help of measurement data, the ely center evaluates both the need for ice cutting along the rivers and the risk of ice dams forming later in the spring.
According to the Ely Center’s preliminary assessment, the ice in Lapland is relatively thin, but an accurate picture will only be available after the measurements are completed in a couple of weeks.
In recent years, ice has been cut in Lapland usually only in the Tornionjoki mouth areas.
