Sweden

Sweden, which occupies the eastern part of the Scandinavian peninsula, is the fourth-largest country in Europe. The country slopes eastward and southward from the Kj�len Mountains along the Norwegian border, where the peak elevation is Kebnekaise at 6,965 ft (2,123 m) in Lapland. In the north are mountains and many lakes. To the south and east are central lowlands and south of them are fertile areas of forest, valley, and plain. Along Sweden's rocky coast, chopped up by bays and inlets, are many islands, the largest of which are Gotland and �land.
