April 2007: Line-up of three Taifuns (D-KKGG, D-KFDI and D-KLUW) on Kiruna airport (Sweden). All three aircraft landed here as a last stop before crossing the Norwegian border for Narvik and the Lofoten Islands. Picture made on June 22nd 2004 by Urs Gerigk.
During summertime the soil in the Kiruna area can't get rid of all the water quickly enough and therefore is plagued by huge quantities of mosquitos.
As they say in Sweden: "20.000.000 mosquitos can't be wrong; Kiruna is the place to be."

Kiruna is also the northernmost city of Sweden and the heart of the Kiruna mining area (link: http://www.mining-technology.com/projects/kiruna/.)
