Lofoten

The adventures in Lofoten are endless. You can climb mountains straight from the fjords, experience the Norwegian culture and try arctic surfing.

Ice Skating

Close to Tjautjas there’s a wonderful lake where you can ice-skate, make an outdoor meal and have an ice-swimming experience under the northern lights.

Accepting the challenge

For Anna Hynynen, being part of the LKAB vision which aims to have a big impact on Sweden’s emissions means the world.

“As a geologist, my goal is to preserve our planet for generations to come while still providing us with the resources we need for functional society.”

"It's no secret that the mining industry has a big negative footprint, but in the mines, a positive change can have a large impact. I'm proud of being a part of a company that isn't scared of the challenges ahead."
