==Geography== Arjeplog Municipality is Sweden's fourth largest municipality, but the fourth least populated. It is located by the [[shore]]s of [[Hornavan|Lake Hornavan]], Sweden's deepest lake and one of its largest. The municipality is popular because of the scenery of Lake Hornavan, but also of its other untouched nature. Arjeplog Municipality consists of a terrain dominated by the [[Scandinavian Mountains]] and many water areas. It boasts an unparalleled 8,000 lakes and [[stream]]s, with three main rivers, namely [[Pite River]], [[Skellefte River]] and [[Lais River]]. Skellefte River attaches south from Lake Hornavan and extends southeast to [[Skellefteå]] and the [[Gulf of Bothnia]] on the east coast. About 80 kilometres north of the town [[Arjeplog]] one finds the [[national park]]s [[Padjelanta]] and [[Sarek National Park|Sarek]], both being situated in the western parts of [[Jokkmokk Municipality]]. Arjeplog Municipality also has 13 [[nature reserve]]s, mostly mountain [[moorland]], where [[endangered species|endangered plants]] grow. Mountain [[Galtispouda]], with a height of 800 metres, is both a popular place of outlook, a nature reserve, and in the winter a popular place for [[skiing]]. ===Localities=== [[Image:Arjeplog kyrka-2006-07-2006.JPG|thumb|Arjeplog church]] There is only one [[urban areas in Sweden|locality]] (or urban area) in Arjeplog Municipality:<ref>[http://www.scb.se/statistik/MI/MI0810/2005A01A/Tatorternami0810tab1en.xls Statistics Sweden as of December 31, 2005]</ref> {|class="wikitable" ! # !!
