Sarek National Park ((スウェーデン語:Sareks nationalpark)) is a national park in Jokkmokk Municipality, Lapland in the north of Sweden. Established in 1909–1910, the park is one of the oldest national parks in Europe. It is adjacent to two national parks, the Stora Sjöfallet and the Padjelanta. The shape of the Sarek park is roughly circular with an average diameter of about . The most noted features of the national park, are six of Sweden's thirteen peaks over located within the park's boundaries. Among these is the second highest mountain in Sweden, Sarektjåkkå, whilst the massif Áhkká is located just outside the park. The park has about 200 peaks over , 82 of which have names. Sarek is also the name of a geographical area which the national park is part of. The Sarek mountain district includes a total of eight peaks over . Due to the long trek, the mountains in the district are seldom climbed. There are approximately 100 glaciers in the Sarek National Park. Sarek is a popular area for hikers and mountaineers. Beginners in these disciplines are advised to accompany a guide since there are no marked trails or accommodations and only two bridges aside from those in the vicinity of its borders. The area is among those that receives the heaviest rainfall in Sweden, making hiking dependent on weather conditions. It is also intersected by turbulent streams that are hazardous to cross without proper training. The delta of the Rapa River is considered one of Europe's most noted views and the summit of mount Skierfe offers an overlook of that ice-covered, glacial, trough valley. The Pårte Scientific Station in Sarek (also known as the ''Pårte observatory'') was built in the early 1900s by Swedish mineralogist and geographer Axel Hamberg. All the building material for the huts had to be carried to the site by porters. == Names of locations == In Sarek National Park, as in the most of Lapland, a large number of the locations have names originating from the Sami languages. These languages have several variations and their written forms have changed over time, which explains why some placenames do not always correspond with each other in different sources. The most common Sami names for locations or features in the park are ''tjåkkå'' or ''tjåkko'' (mountain), ''vagge'' (valley), ''jåkkå'' or ''jåkko'' (stream), ''lako'' (plateau) and ''ätno'' (river). An example of this is ''Rapaätno'', meaning Rapa River. These names are also the official Swedish names of the locations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sarek National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
