Akkajaure (from
Stora Sjöfallet national park. The lake formed after the construction of the first Suorva dam in 1913–1923.[1] The rim of the current dam is at an elevation of 453 m (1,486 ft).[1] When full, the lake's maximum depth is 92 m (302 ft), and its mean depth is about 30 m (98 ft).[1] Because it is used for power generation, the lake depth fluctuates by up to 30 m (98 ft).[1] On 8 January 2016, West Air Sweden Flight 294 crashed near Akkajaure, killing both crew members on board.[2]
