Kiruna (Northern Sami: Giron, Finnish: Kiiruna) is the northernmost town in Sweden, situated in the province of Lapland. It had 18,148 inhabitants in 2010 and is the seat of Kiruna Municipality (population: 23,099 in 2008) in Norrbotten County.
The city's vicinity shares a long history with the indigenous Sami people, with evidence of at least 6000 years of settlement. The city of Kiruna was founded in 1900 and quickly became a major centre of iron ore extraction and mining industry. During World War II, large quantities of iron were transported from Kiruna by rail to the east coast, and further down to be sold to Germany. Due to Kiruna's position north of the Arctic Circle the city experiences both midnight sun and polar night throughout the year as well as a very cold climate by Scandinavian standards.
Esrange Space Center was established in Kiruna in the 1960s. Also in Kiruna are the Institute of Space Physics and the Department of Space Science belonging to Luleå University of Technology.

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com It was a 15 minute walk from Camp Ripan to the center of Kiruna with many small shopping malls, grocery stores, hotels, and restaurants. We'd strap Yaktrax (traction devices) over boots and set off to buy food and explore. Kiruna is the northernmost town in Sweden (pop: 18,148) and the town center is in the process of being moved 2 miles to the east to avoid being swallowed up by the world’s largest iron-ore mine!

Last week I visited Kiruna - which is a city of about 20 000 in the very north of Sweden. Most of the jobs come from the Iron Ore mine and there is an aboriginal people in the area called the Sami people. Had an awesome week - hope you enjoy the vid! 5K Views also!!! Like, Comment and Subscribe.

Neighbourhoods in a remote Arctic town in the far north of Sweden are in danger of collapsing into the ground because of an ever-expanding iron ore mine. Kiruna supplies more than three quarters of Europe's raw iron. But over the next 15 years, more than 3,000 homes have to be moved three kilometres to avoid being swallowed up by the mining operation.

Travel video about destination Sverige. In the heart of Scandinavia, Sweden is Europe’s fifth largest country. Vast and remote in the harsh north, with idyllic lakes and spectacular islands in the south. Our journey begins in Kiruna, a hundred and twenty kilometres north of the Arctic Circle where it is winter for two hundred and ten days a year. Several centuries ago, huge mineral deposits were discovered in this region but it was only from 1899, following the completion of the railroad, that mining became profitable and thousands of workers streamed into the area. Seventeen kilometres east of Kiruna in a Sami settlement in JukkasjärvI, each year the most unique hotel in the world is totally re-built, the Ice Hotel, a unique project that began in 1989. Crystal clear blocks of ice are c...
It is perhaps true that there are some moments in your life that you will remember more than others. This is particularly true with my trip to the Swedish Lapland. Something you experice once in a lifetime and that leaves a memorable impression. Watch the video to experice with me the dog-sledging and snowmobile riding in Kiruna, hiking in Abisco National Park, looking at the Ice-Hotel being constructed, and travelling along the Norwegian Fjords towards the beautiful city of Narvik.

A great week dogsledding through lapland near Kiruna Sweden in early February 2016 with tour company www.jvt.se. Our tour guide was the legendary Markus. Some very cold days and some great nights with northern lights. Fantastic trip! Filmed with a GoPro Hero4, iPhone 6s, and Canon 6D. Music by Bensound.com.

A man is crying, takes me to a certain place.
Which I don't often find.
You see a family walking.
Always thinking of being somewhere else in
time.
So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
The feelings I had.
Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you
. It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.
I can't handle.
Let's get this party started.
I'm sick of being you.
You make me feel insane.
We don't give to you.
Let's get this party started.
You make me feel insane.
I want to be the one.
To make myself sane.
Time is ticking, it makes me feel content.
With what I have inside.
Constant paranoia surrounds me.
Everyone I see is out to get me.
So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
The feelings I had.
Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you.
It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.
I can't handle.
Let's get this party started.
