If you find yourself in Kiruna, and are looking for things to do, the visitors center in the middle of town is a great resource. Bonus, thez speak flawless English. Actually, everyone in Sweden speaks really good English (I dare say better then the Germans). I think it's because English language TV and movies aren't dubbed like they are in Germany. Rather, there are just Swedish subtitles. I supposed after watching a lifetime of TV like this, you might speak the original language pretty well.
