Jokkmokks kommun

The Lule River and vast boreal forests define much of Jokkmokk Municipality – long distances, hydroelectric power, forestry and Sami reindeer herding have shaped life in this northern Swedish territory. Much of the municipality lies above the Arctic Circle, where rivers, wetlands and mountain country lead towards the Norwegian border. It also contains parts of the Laponian Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site recognised for its wilderness and living Sami cultural traditions. Jokkmokk itself is known for its annual winter market, held since 1605. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Swedish Lapland connects regionally.
