Flatisvatnet
Lake in Rana, Norway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flatisvatnet[2] is a lake in the northwestern part of Rana Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The lake is located inside the Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of the town of Mo i Rana. The glacial lake is also the headwaters of the Glomåga river which flows south into the lake Langvatnet. The Bjørnefoss waterfall is located on the northeastern part of the lake, and so the lake is sometimes known as the Bjørnefossvatnet (lit. 'Bjørnefoss lake').[3][4]
