Abisko is a small town in the Lapland region of northern Sweden. Abisko village is around the train station "Abisko Östra" and we stayed in Abisko Guesthouse which is a short walk away from this station as well. There is another train station - Abisko Turiststation about 2 kilometres west. There's a fairly large and well equipped hotel/hostel, STF Abisko Turiststation near this station. 

I read that Abisko has a reputation of offering some of the best conditions in the world for northern lights watching where unique climate of the area keep the skies almost clear. I'm not sure how true this is but we did see the northern lights 2 out of 4 nights we were there. To be fair, we were tired out the evening we arrived and it was snowing. On our last night, we woke up and checked the live camera at Aurora Sky Station and there were no lights seen so we continued sleeping. I can't remember but there prob were some lights during the night. For some unknown reasons, we were perpetually sleeping and has been sleeping a lot during the trip. 

We walked to Abisko National Park and did part of the shorter walks but the main reason was we wanted to see the frozen waterfalls. The frozen waterfalls are at the Abisko Canyon, quite close to the start of the trails. It is part of the Canyon Trail (which is about 30 mins - 1 hour). The trail is marked on signs as a yellow hexagon with two black dots. The path takes you along the outer rim of the Abiskojakka Canyon (Abisko Canyon). There were people doing ice climbing here when we were there. My camera battery was flat after a couple of photographs here. I took some with my phone but hands went numb fairly quickly as I had to take off the gloves to use the phone. 

I don't know which turn we took but we ended up part of the Shore Trail (green hexagons with 6 white dots) so we walked to see Lake Torneträsk.
