Angeli (Northern Sami: Áŋŋel) is a village in Lapland. It is 62 kilometres (39 mi) west of village of Inari in the municipality of Inari near the Muotkatunturi Wilderness Area in Finland. The Inari River flows by the village, which is located close to the Norwegian border. Most of the people speak Northern Sámi as their native language.
The village is connected by all-weather gravel roads north to Karigasniemi and east to the village of Inari.
Angeli is called the "darkest village in Finland"; measured on the Bortle scale, Angeli's degree of darkness is one, which is why the darkness is so deep at night time that not even shapes can be distinguished from the landscape of the horizon.[1]
