What is the flag of Finland? The flag of Finland, known as the siniristilippu or "blue cross flag," features a deep blue Nordic cross set against a white background. This simple yet powerful design symbolizes the essence of Finnish nature — the white represents the snow-covered landscapes, and the blue stands for the countless lakes and clear skies. Adopted in 1918 after Finland gained independence, the flag follows the traditional Nordic cross style, linking Finland to its Scandinavian neighbors.
