Kiruna is the northernmost municipality in Sweden, and also the largest in terms of area (20 000 square kilometres). It has 23 000 inhabitants. Kiruna combines many extremes: Sweden's highest mountain, seven large and unspoiled rivers, midnight sun and polar nights, the world's largest underground mine, high-tech space research, traditional Sami trades and a successful tourist industry. The city of Kiruna is currently undergoing an exciting social transformation; due to mining close to the city centre, large parts of Kiruna have to be relocated. Kiruna's largest industry is the mining company LKAB, which began mining in the 1890s.
