Mount Tolpagorni (Sami: Duolbagorni), at 1,662 m (5,453 ft), in the Kiruna Municipality, belongs to the Kebnekaise (Sami: Giebmegáisi or Giebnegáisi) massif, in Swedish Lapland, about 150 km (93 mi) north of the Arctic Circle and near the Norwegian border. At its top there is a depression in the rock, round like a cauldron, which resembles a volcanic crater; however, the mountain is not volcanic in origin.
