Kiruna

Kiruna is a remote city in northern Sweden, known for its stunning natural beauty and Arctic environment. It is famous for its large iron ore mine, which is one of the biggest in Europe. The city lies within the Arctic Circle, offering spectacular phenomena like the Midnight Sun in summer and the Northern Lights in winter. Due to mining activity, much of Kiruna is being relocated to prevent subsidence. It serves as a hub for Sami culture, outdoor adventures, and scientific research in polar conditions. Despite its isolation, Kiruna is a symbol of sustainable development and Arctic resilience.
