Kiirunavaara, Iron ore fell in Kiruna Municipality, Sweden.
Kiirunavaara rises 749 meters above sea level, containing one of the largest iron ore deposits in the world near the Arctic Circle.
Mining operations at Kiirunavaara began in the late 1800s, leading to the establishment of Kiruna city and regional industrial development.
The fell represents the intersection between modern mining operations and the traditional territories of the Sami people in northern Sweden.
Visitors can access guided tours of the mining operations and hiking trails around Kiirunavaara throughout the summer season.
The extensive mining activities beneath Kiirunavaara necessitate the gradual relocation of Kiruna city to prevent ground subsidence.
