Gällivare - Gällivare (English spelling)

Japanese: イェリバレ - いぇりばれ(英語表記)Gällivare
Gällivare - Gällivare (English spelling)

A mining town in the Norrland region of northern Sweden. Population 19,680 (2001). Together with nearby Malmberget, it has iron mines with reserves of 400 million tons, which are extracted from underground ores. It is connected by rail to Narvik, Norway's ice-free port, and Luleå, which faces the Gulf of Bothnia, and iron ore is shipped from both cities. There are also steel, machinery, and beer brewing industries. It has long been known as a church settlement, but it developed rapidly after iron ore mining began in the second half of the 19th century. It is home to Lapp Church, Lapp Folk Museum, and the Mining Museum. It serves as a base for mountaineering tourism, and buses connect to the western mountain area.
