Stabbursdalen National Park (Norwegian: Stabbursdalen nasjonalpark or Northern Sami: Rávttošvuomi álbmotmeahcci[2]) is a national park in North Norway. It contains the northernmost pine forest in the world. It is located in Porsanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The park surrounds the Stabburselva river and its surrounding valley, just west of the large Porsangerfjorden. A small corner of the park extends into neighboring Hammerfest Municipality.[3][4]
