Kiruna kommun

The Scandinavian Mountains and subarctic forests define much of Kiruna kommun — iron-ore mining, Sámi reindeer herding and outdoor travel are shaped by this far-northern setting. Sweden’s northernmost municipality extends from the Norwegian border across broad forests and wetlands. The Torne River passes Jukkasjärvi, known for the Icehotel, while Abisko National Park and Lake Torneträsk lie farther west. Kiruna, the municipal seat, grew around the iron-ore deposit worked by LKAB; parts of its centre are being relocated because of mining-related ground deformation.
