Kiruna - Ore Mountain 


(Local Name: Kirunavaara) Kiruna is dominated by the ore mountain of Kirunavaara, terraced by opencast workings. The existence of the iron ore in the hill had been known since 1730, but it was only after the construction of the railroad lines to Luleå and Narvik that it became possible to work the ore. Working is now by opencast methods. There are conducted tours of the old underground workings, the largest in the world.
