From Wiki,
Korvatunturi is a fell in Urho Kekkonen National Park, Lapland, on the border of Finland (in the municipality of Savukoski) and Russia. Its height is 486 metres (roughly 1594 feet) from sea level. It has three peaks. The border is drawn through the middle peak. The name translates to "Ear Fell".
Korvatunturi is the place where Father Christmas (or Joulupukki in Finnish) lives. This legend comes from a children's radio show calledMarkus-sedän lastentunti ("Children's hour with Uncle Markus") hosted by Markus Rautio and broadcast by the Finnish Broadcasting Company between years 1927 and 1956. Uncle Markus told children that from this "Ear Fell" Father Christmas can hear what all the children are saying so he can find out if the children behave and obey their parents (and therefore may receive gifts next Christmas).
