Stora Sjöfallet National Park
Glaciated mountains and birch forest around the Akkajaure reservoir in Swedish Lapland
The Áhkká massif, with thirteen peaks and ten glaciers, dominates a park that wraps around the artificial lake Akkajaure. The park was created for a great waterfall, which hydroelectric development later drained of most of its water.
