<br/>
& as you can see with the help of these fine zoomable<br/>
maps<br/>

all 5 finnish & all 3 swedish municipal boundaries<br/>
that meet fise appear to terminate at the<br/>
international thalweg that is currently under review<br/>
<br/>
reference maps & lists reading from north to south in<br/>
each case<br/>

kiruna pajala<br/>
overtornea pajala<br/>
haparanda overtornea<br/>
<br/>
so <br/>
that would appear to add up to 8 municipal tripoints<br/>
in all under review<br/>
& just a minor curiosity probably not even worth<br/>
mentioning<br/>
since how far could they really move anyway<br/>
<br/>
except<br/>
<br/>
oddly enough<br/>
<br/>
the northernmost pair of these communal lines very<br/>
much appear to meet at a quadripoint<br/>
<br/>
shades of the binational secondary quadripoint<br/>
nose2janontvb<br/>
<br/>
but in this case it would be a binational tertiary<br/>
quadripoint  fise2llnb3enkimupa<br/>
<br/>
some sort of a strange scandinavian custom perhaps<br/>
<br/>
in any case i havent noticed anything quite like these<br/>
anywhere else in the world<br/>
<br/>
but it raises the question<br/>
if 4 town lines do indeed meet at odd angles to form a<br/>
quadripoint<br/>
as these appear to do<br/>
& the thalweg that carries 2 of them shifts <br/>
even just ever so slightly<br/>
then wouldnt the quadripoint break up into 2 very<br/>
close tripoints<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
