Torne, << TAWR nuh, >> River, also called the Tornio River, rises in Lake Torne in northern Sweden and flows eastward through northern Sweden. Then the river turns southward and forms part of the boundary between Sweden and Finland until it empties into the Gulf of Bothnia.
The Finnish people call the part of the river that forms the boundary the Tornio. But in Sweden, the river is called the Torne. The Torne River is more than 250 miles (402 kilometers) long.
