Avärden

Avärden is a lake located in the Abisko National Park in northern Sweden. The lake is situated at an altitude of approximately 650 meters above sea level and is surrounded by majestic mountains and rolling hills. The lake is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The lake is characterized by its crystal-clear water, which is rich in nutrients and supports a diverse range of aquatic life. The lake's ecosystem is further enriched by the presence of various plant and animal species, including Arctic char, grayling, and several species of birds. The surrounding area is also home to a variety of flora, including lichen-covered rocks, grasses, and wildflowers.

Avärden lake is situated in the Arctic Circle, and as a result, the area experiences 24-hour daylight during the summer months and complete darkness during the winter months. The extreme climate and remote location make the area particularly challenging to access, particularly during the winter months.

Despite the challenges, Avärden lake remains a popular destination for those seeking to experience the raw beauty of the Arctic wilderness. The area is also steeped in history and offers a glimpse into the lives of the Sami people, who have inhabited the area for centuries. The lake is roughly 2.5 kilometers in length and has a maximum depth of approximately 40 meters.
