Rohkunborri National Park
Rohkunborri National Park (, ) is a national park in Troms county, Norway, that was established in 2011. The park consists of a  protected area, and is located in Bardu Municipality along the border with Sweden, about  southeast of the village of Setermoen and about  northeast of the town of Narvik. Rohkunborri borders on the Swedish Vadvetjåkka National Park to the south, and it is located less than  south of Øvre Dividal National Park. The park includes parts of the Sørdalen valley (canyon), the large lake Geavdnjajávri, and the mountain Rohkunborri. The large lakes Altevatnet and Leinavatnet both lie just north of the park boundary. The nature varies from rich boreal deciduous forest on the lower elevations to alpine tundra higher up. The park is home to brown bears, wolverines, and lynx, as well as the snowy owl, gyrfalcon, and reindeer (with Sami owners). There are also wetlands and alpine vegetation on bedrock rich in lime, as well as bogs. The Arctic rhododendron (no:Lapprose) is present. The lakes in the eastern part have Arctic char. The mountains on both sides of the canyon reach up to  above sea level. Gallery
