There are a large number of drumlins in Kuusamo, north Finland, where they form a large field with about 2 400 ridges of various shapes and sizes. Glacial geological investigation of the Kuusamo drumlin field is described in this paper. The elongated ridges can be divided into high, irregular vaara drumlins and typical drumlins, with three subtypes of low bog drumlins, higher ridges and narrow esker-like drumlins. The area of Kuusamo was drumlinized under the continental ice advancing from the WNW-NW.
