Finding the sculpted Moomin Trolls in an Ice Cave in central Finland...

Are the eccentric and oddly-shaped characters known around the world as "The Moomins" really to be found in an Ice Cave in Central Finland? I'd long ago heard they lived in a little house in Moomin Valley. I'd thought for much of my life these strange creatures were Hippopotamus and yet late in life I discover they are actually Trolls. Or could it be that the Swedes are calling them "MoominTrolls" whereas the world calls them "The Moomin"? Either way, I set out to central Finland because I "wondered" if they were really to be found in an Ice Cave in Leppavirta Finland? Or was this Ice Cave not actually an Ice Cave after all and something else entirely different. Join me while I visit this Finnish tourist site in the Lakelands of Finland.
