Akka

Akka is a massif in northern Sweden that is part of the Stora Sjofallet National Park. Akka's massif consists of twelve peaks and 10 glaciers, with the highest peak, Stortoppen, rising 6,611 feet above sea level. Lake Akkajaure is located beneath the mountain and is controlled by a hydroelectric power facility. Because of the enormous level variances, Akka has a stunning look. The mountain is a holy spot for the Sami culture, and hikers are awestruck by its grandeur.

The massif features twelve distinct peaks and ten glaciers, the tallest of which is Stortoppen at 2,015 meters (6,611 feet). This is Sweden's eighth-highest summit. The mountain's most prominent feature is a vertical drop of 1,563 m (5,128 ft) from the highest summit to the lake Akkajaure in the valley below, which is located at 453 m (1,486 ft). The largest vertical drop in Sweden may be found here. Because the lake underneath the mountain is controlled by a hydroelectric power station, its surface may drop to 423 m (1,388 ft), raising the peak's vertical drop to a maximum of 1,593 m (5,226 ft). The massif has an outstanding look because of the significant level variations and the fact that it is firmly kept together and very solitary, giving it the moniker Queen of Lapland. It is a holy mountain in the Sámi heritage, and some hikers approach it with awe and mysticism.
