Established in 1909, Abisko National Park is Sweden's first national park. Located in the heart of the Lapland, Abisko extends over 7,700 hectares (19,027 acres), beginning at the coast of Torneträsk, Scandinavia's largest alpine lake. The park was created with conservation in mind and has become a hub for scientific study.
