Chinese name: Swedish Lapp residential area
There are two kinds of physical geographical features in this area: one is the eastern Archean rock base lowland; The other is the alpine landscape in the west, which accounts for two-thirds of the total area of the reserve. The former was formed later, and glaciers played an important role in the formation of this landscape. The current appearance of flora and fauna is evidence of a phenomenon known as clustering after the retreat of a glacier 9,000 years ago. Salek Mountain and

Alps
The landscape is famous for its high mountains, deep valleys and rushing rivers. There are more than 200 peaks of more than 1,800 meters and more than 100 glaciers. The Payalanta region is a plateau surrounded by two large lakes, Lake Vasten and Lake Veri. Lake Veri has been called "the most beautiful lake in Sweden". The lowland areas of Chavernhal and Mudez are plains with some remaining hills. That is to say, it is a vast plain covered by coniferous forests and lakes, with a few solitary round hills.
Glaciation has played an important role in the formation of the local landscape, such as the vertical walls of more than 100 meters deep, deep valleys cut by meltwater and the valley of the Kulsu River, ice plains, glacial boulder scratches, tundra, U-shaped valleys, mortar, moraine, glacial deposits, ice mounds, weathering phenomena and domed peat mounds. The climate in the west is cold
Marine climate
Most of the areas with the highest rainfall are directly exposed to westerly winds. In the east, there is less rainfall and the climate is more continental. The quaint pine river fir forest covers nearly 100,000 ha, and various types of swamps cover another 100,000 ha. The latter is the largest unspoiled marshland in Western Europe. For botanists, it is an interesting mountainous region rich in Alpine flora. The Padjelanta Ranch and the unique Jackna Mountain provide a home for many rare wildlife. The eastern lowlands are covered with coniferous forests, and the oldest trees in the Mulders pine forest are over 700 years old.
The fauna here includes many of the world's most endangered animals, such as wolverines, otters and white-tailed hawks. Other important species include the brown bear, lynx, moose, golden eagle, swan, spearfalcon and falcon. Twenty-five species of mammals have been found in this area. The marshes around the lake in the heart of the Moodes region are a paradise for birds. Therefore, large areas are designated as bird sanctuaries that are off-limits to humans. More than 150 species of birds have been observed in Chawunha Marsh, of which at least 100 have been confirmed by human breeding. here-living
Sami
They came here 4,000 to 5,000 years ago and still retain most of their distinctive cultural traits. They make a living from the reindeer industry, about 200-250, and the Samis domesticated about 30-35,000 reindeer on this land. The Sami are nomadic, living only in the mountains during the summer months. The taiga is inaccessible and has no permanent population. Sami ownership of the land and waters, as well as fishing and hunting, is legal and protected. Since the purpose of this place is to protect wildlife, so
Tourist facilities
Not a huge number. At the end of the 19th century, it welcomed the first tourist groups, and there are not many tourists coming here every year, Salek and Mudes region receives about 2,000 visitors per year, Padjelanta region receives about 4,000 people per year, Shawenha region receives only a few hundred people per year, and in the easily accessible Great Lakes Falls National Park, more tourist facilities receive about 70,000 people per year.
The northern part of Sweden is home to the Sami people. It was the largest and last area where people lived in ancestral ways, based on the periodic movement of livestock. Every summer, the Sami herd their reindeer to the mountains and through natural storm areas, which are still preserved today, only threatened by cars. We can see historical and present geological processes in moraines and changes in water routes. The area is beautiful with deep valleys and fast-flowing rivers.
