Stora Sjöfallet, Waterfall system in Jokkmokk Municipality, Sweden.
The Stora Sjöfallet consists of five cascading waterfalls along the Lule River, reaching a total height of 40 meters into Lake Láŋas.
Established as a national park in 1909, the waterfall's natural flow decreased substantially following the construction of hydroelectric infrastructure in the early 20th century.
Each level of the waterfall bears names of significant figures from Lapland's history, including SG Hermelin and Lars Levi Laestadius.
The waterfall area connects to hiking trails and remains accessible via road from Porjus, with optimal visiting conditions between March and September.
The surrounding park contains thirteen mountain peaks and ten glaciers, which currently lose approximately 10 meters of ice mass annually.
