It is an example of a geographical feature known as a tripoint. A monument of stones was erected on the site in 1897 by the governments of Norway and Russia ( which was administering Finland at the time ). The Swedish could not agree on a boundary commission with the Norwegians and did not contribute their stone until 1901. This is Sweden 's most northerly point and it is the westernmost point of the Finnish mainland ( the most westerly point of Finland is on the island Märket ). The current tripoint monument was built in 1926 and is a beige, conical frustum made of concrete, located about 10 metres ( 33 ft ) out in Lake Goldajärvi ( also known as Lake Koltajauri ). It is located at 489 metres ( 1,604 ft ) above sea level. The size is about 14 square metres ( 150 sq ft ) with diameter of about 4 metres ( 13 ft ). As an artificial island, it is sometimes mentioned as the world 's smallest island divided by a border. This is a matter of definition. For example, in Haparanda / Tornio there are poles in water marking the border. It may be reached by walking 11 kilometres ( 6.8 mi ) from Kilpisjärvi in Finland along a hiking trail in the Malla Strict Nature Reserve. In summertime, it can be reached by boat from Kilpisjärvi plus a 3 - kilometre ( 1.9 mi ) walk.
