The Tanaelv ( Norwegian Tanaelva (-a = feminine specific article)) or Tenojoki ( Finnish ; short: Tana or Teno , North Sami : Deatnu (literally "big river")) is the Norwegian - Finnish border river.
It arises at the confluence of the Karasjokka and Inarijoki rivers near Karigasniemi . The length of the Inarijoki and Tanaelv river systems is given as 348 km. Over a distance of 256 km, the Tana marks the state border between the municipalities of Karasjok and Tana on the Norwegian side and Utsjoki on the Finnish side. It flows into the Arctic Ocean at the Tanafjord . This is the northernmost estuary in Europe.
The Tana is one of the world's best fishing grounds for salmon . A 36 kg specimen that was caught in the Tana in 1929 is still the largest Atlantic salmon ever caught .
