Things to see and do Saltfjellet-Svartisen

Area: 2,105 km². The park and the four adjacent protected areas extend from the Norwegian coast and the Melfjord in the west to the mountain range along the Swedish border, covered by the Svartisen glacier. The Svartisen Glacier is the largest glacier in northern Scandinavia, covering 370 km². The birch forests are home to a surprisingly rich flora for the latitude, and such rare species as the Arctic rhododendron grow on the limestone areas.
