Akkajaure, Hydroelectric reservoir in Stora Sjöfallet National Park, Sweden.
Located at the headwaters of the Lule River, Akkajaure stretches 60 kilometers in length with a maximum width of 5 kilometers.
The creation of Akkajaure began with the construction of the initial Suorva dam between 1913 and 1923, transforming the landscape of Norrbotten County.
The lake carries the name Áhkájávrre in Lule Sami language, reflecting the strong indigenous heritage of the Swedish Lappland region.
The water level of Akkajaure fluctuates up to 30 meters due to hydroelectric power generation, affecting fishing and recreational activities.
The lake sits beneath the Áhkká massif, which presents Sweden's highest vertical drop of 1,563 meters from summit to water surface.
