Statue showing six gold miners at work in front of the Kultahippu Hotel, with a giant Finnish sieve on the northern traffic circle
Ivalo was a gold mining town in the 1870s. The gold- and platinum-bearing Ivalojoki River attracted dozens of gold seekers in search of their fortune. Several symbols can be seen in Ivalo today. A statue of six gold miners at work stands in front of the Kultahippu ("gold nugget") hotel, while a giant Finnish sieve stands on Ivalo's northern traffic circle.
To find out more, visit the Gold Prospector Museum in Tankavaara, 60 km south of Ivalo.
