Anárjohka National Park

The park contains 1,409 square kilometers of birch woods, pine barrens, bogs, lakes, and tundra landscapes in northern Norway's Finnmark region.

The national park, established on December 19, 1975, represents a significant milestone in Norway's conservation efforts to protect northern wilderness areas.

The territory holds substantial importance for the Sami people who maintain traditional reindeer grazing practices within twelve designated winter units.

Visitors can access hiking trails and waterways during July and August when conditions permit exploration of the park's extensive natural environment.

The park contains northern red-backed voles, a rodent species typically found in Siberia, along with brown bears, wolverines, and diverse fish populations.
