The Lule River draws its water from glaciers and high mountains and passes through a variety of diverse landscapes and places on its way to the sea. Here, the expansion of hydroelectric power created the conditions for Sweden's industrialization during the 20th century. What would Sweden have been without this renewable energy source?
Today, Facebook is one of many companies that draws its energy from this amazing river – in the middle of the Laponia World Heritage Area, which contains some of our most spectacular national parks.
The regulation of the river still resonates today. In industries, businesses and politics. In stories from people whose everyday lives were changed, and in nature, where water flows affect and change the landscape.
In Luleälven – Encounters in the North, the authors and photographer want to give their picture of the Luleälven and its catchment area. The starting point is personal impressions from encounters with people, culture and nature during trips and hikes in the area, but they also bring with them experiences from their professional lives.
