Sweden is one of a group of countries in Northern Europe (with Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland) known collectively as Scandinavia. Sweden occupies the eastern half of a peninsula on the western edge of the Baltic Sea and its rugged coastline includes innumerable inlets known as fjords. In the far north-east, Sweden shares a border with Finland, whilst to the west it has a long border with Norway. North of the Arctic Circle, in the sparsely inhabited 'land' of Norrland, Sweden's only sizeable mountain range culminates at the glacier-capped Kebnekaise (2111m / 6924ft). Running through this remote part of Lapland, the long-distance trail of the Kungsleden or 'King's Trail' extends for 440 kilometres from Abisko in the north to Hemavan. The northern part of this maintained track runs as far as Kebnekaise and provides an excellent summer trekking route, as well as a classic hut-to-hut ski tour in the winter. In winter, Abisko is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights.
