Torneträsk

Local nameTorneträsk
LocationKiruna kommun, Sweden

Torneträsk or Torne träsk is a lake in Kiruna Municipality, Lapland, Norrbotten County in Sweden, in the Scandinavian Mountains. Träsk is the local word for lake. It is the sixth-largest lake in Sweden, with a total area of 330 square kilometres and a length of 70 kilometres. The lake drains to the south-east through Torne river. South-west of the lake lies the Abisko National Park and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponian area.

Torneträsk originated from the remnant of a glacier, which has given the lake its depth of 168 metres, making it the second-deepest lake in Sweden. It is usually ice-covered from December through June, with variations dependent on temperature variations.
