Nausta
For a very small and quiet town just south of Jokkmokk, Nausta has made a loud impression in Swedish history. On 14 August 1961, just after ten in the evening, the first space rocket was launched from Swedish soil. But that blast was nothing compared to the Nausta blast, which was carried out in 1957 to test the results of an atomic bomb. Today, Nausta is quieter.
