Ignoring the border guards and customs station for the time being, the crossing into Norway is marked simply and to the point. 'Norge' (which is Norwegian for Norway, of course). The long road then heads on to the distant towns of Skibotn and Lyngen.

The settlement of Kilpisjärvi itself is not far from the border, so there is not far to go once you've entered Finland.

It is nice to see this old border marker from a bygone era.
