Karesuando (Swedish: [ˈkǎrːɛsʉandɔ];[3] Finnish: Kaaresuvanto or Karesuvanto; Northern Sámi: Gárasavvon; Meänkieli: Karesuanto) is the northernmost locality in Sweden.

The area had a training camp for the Norwegian police troops in Sweden during World War II.

Karesuando is located along the European route E45, and is the northern terminus of Swedish national road 99.

Still, accumulation in spring is usually quite high since the snow cover does not thaw at all during winter due to the cold averages.

With Karesuando being quite far inland, it is prone both to sizeable warmth for short spells and temperatures either approaching or below −40 °C (−40 °F).

The road on the Finnish side of the river however has bushes and marginal taiga north of the Karesuando area.
