Geology

Abisko National Park is on mountain bedrock with veins of limestone.

Inland ice sheets formed the large alpine valley located in the park. The Abiskojåkka river flows through the long valley to ultimately rush along in a canyon flanked by steep cliffs of hard schist and dolomite limestone.
