Kebnekaise (from Sami Giebnegáisi, "Cauldron Crest") is the highest mountain in Sweden. The peak is 2,111 metres (6,926 ft) high and part of the Scandinavian Mountains. It is said one can see 9% of Swedish surface area from the summit: that approximates to more than 40000 km2: almost the size of The Netherlands.
