Line 31: The Kebnekaise massif lies within a range of the Scandinavian mountains that is bordered by the [[glacial valley]]s [[Ladtjovagge]] (Sami spelling Láddjuvággi), Tjäktjavagge (Čeakčavággi) and Vistasvagge (Visttasvággi). The highest points of the massif lie along the ridge (called "vargryggen" in Swedish) that runs from the southern and northern summits to Kebnepakte (Giebmebákti) at {{convert\|1990\|m}}. Other subsidiary peaks are Kebnetjåkka (Giebmečohkka), [[Vierranvárri]], Tolpagorni {{convert\|1662\|m}} , Guobircohkka {{convert\|1506\|m}}, and [[Siŋŋibákti]] {{convert\|1614\|m}}. Of the two highest points, the southern peak lies on a glacier situated on a rocky plateau. The glacier has shrunk in recent years, and therefore the summit is not as high as earlier. The top is traditionally said to be {{convert\|2,111\|m}}, and higher in the oldest measurement, i.e. {{convert\|2,117\|m}}. If the melting continues at the same rate, the south peak will sink below the north peak (which is the highest ''fixed'' point in Sweden) within a few years' time.<ref>Malin Olofsson, [http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/ekot/artikel.asp?artikel=1422159 "Toppskifte på Kebnekaise"] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930235321/http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/ekot/artikel.asp?artikel=1422159 \|date=2007-09-30 }}, [[Sveriges Radio]], 15 June 2007, retrieved 27 March 2012 {{sv icon}}</ref><ref>[http://www.fjallklubben.org/fjallet/artiklar/4-04art2.htm Kebnekaises sydtopp – högst i Sverige?], fjallklubben.org (broken link)</ref> However, as of July 2015, [[Tarfala Research Station]] reports that the glacier has grown by 4.5m to 2,102 - from its lowest measurement of 2097.5m the previous year.<ref>Emil Östlund, [http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=83&artikel=6218190 "Sydtoppen växer på Kebnekaise"], [[Sveriges Radio]] 23 July 2015, retrieved 27 October 2015 {{sv icon}}</ref> The massif is heavily [[glacier\|glaciated]], with [[Kebnepakteglaciären]], [[Isfallsglaciären]], and [[Storglaciären]] towards [[Tarfala\|Tarfala valley]] to the east, [[Björlings glacier]] to the southeast, and [[Rabots glaciär]] to the west, plus several smaller glaciers throughout the area.
