Editing Bardu Municipality (section)

==Geography==
Bardu borders [[Lavangen Municipality]] and [[Salangen Municipality]] to the west, [[Målselv Municipality]] to the north, [[Narvik Municipality]] (in [[Nordland]] county) to the south, and [[Sweden]] to the east. The [[Barduelva]] river runs through the municipality from south to north along the Bardudalen valley. The [[Salangsdalen]] valley is located along the western part of the municipality. The largest lake in the county, [[Altevatnet]], is located in the eastern part of the municipality, near the smaller lakes [[Geavdnjajávri]] and [[Leinavatn]]. These lakes lie in and near [[Rohkunborri National Park]]. The highest point in the municipality is the {{convert|1660.61|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Rohkunborri, also located within Rohkunborri National Park.<ref name="elev" />

===Climate===
Bardu, although not far from the coast, is known for its cold winters compared to the coastal areas. This is caused by mountains usually blocking the milder, coastal air from reaching the Bardu valley. In summer, however, it is usually warmer than the coastal areas.
