When I was in Finland last year, I was fortunate to be on a train
from Rovaniemi to Helsinki that stopped at Ii. (I have taken the
Helsinki-Rovaniemi or Helsinki-Kemijärvi train five other times and
each time the train just zoomed on by.) I took a photo of the train
station sign, with "Ii" (upper and lower case) in blue.
My apologies for not submitting a scan of the St. Pierre and Miquelon
map yet. I work in a library, and the scanner has been relocated to a
different bibliographic room, yet has not been connected. I will
attempt to post both map and Ii train station photo soon.
