ALAND ISLANDS - Aland Flag



"Åland's original name was in Proto-Norse language *Ahvaland which means "Land of Water". In Swedish, this first developed into Áland and eventually into Åland, literally "river land"—even though rivers are not a prominent feature of Åland's geography. The Finnish name of the island, Ahvenanmaa ("perch land"), is seen to preserve another form of the old name."


A 2012 commemorative stamps were used on the card featuring Visit Aland.
