Abisko

Abisko is a small village in Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle. Just out of town, extending from the southwestern shore of Torneträsk Lake, is Abisko National Park. Surrounded by mountains, it shelters lemmings, reindeer, and the Lapp orchid. The King’s Trail begins in the park and leads to Hemavan in the south. The Aurora Sky Station on Mount Nuolja is an observation center for the Northern Lights.
