You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Saltfjellet''' is a [[mountain]] area in [[Nordland]] county, [[Norway]] that separates the two regions of [[Helgeland]] and [[Salten]]. It is also a cultural border between the Southern and Central parts of [[Sápmi (area)|Sápmi]].<ref name="snl">((cite web|url=http://snl.no/Saltfjellet|title=Saltfjellet|author=Store norske leksikon|authorlink=Store norske leksikon|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2011-12-20))</ref>

==Geography and environment==
The Saltfjell is one of the largest mountain ranges in Norway, and is also where the [[Arctic Circle]] cuts through the country. This range is part of seven municipalities: The northern part is part of  the municipalities of [[Saltdal]], [[Bodø]], [[Beiarn]] and [[Gildeskål]], the western part is in the municipalities of [[Meløy]] and [[Rødøy]] while the southern part is in [[Rana, Norway|Rana Municipality]].

The highest mountain is [[Ølfjellet]] at ((convert|1751|m)) above sea level. The mountains stretch from the coast to the Swedish border. The [[glacier]] [[Svartisen]] is actually two glaciers, separated by the Glomdalen valley with the Glomåga river. Western Svartisen is the second largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland, and is part of the  [[Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park]]. There are many other glaciers as well. A total of ((convert|2587|km2)) of the area is protected. Several long valleys radiate from the mountains, such as the [[Dunderland Valley]] and [[Blakkådalen]] going south from the mountains, and [[Saltdal]] and the [[Beiar Valley]] going northwards. The eastern part of the range forms a plateau with some gently sloping mountains, and this is where the road and railway crosses over Saltfjell. Both road and railway take advantage of the Dunderland Valley and the Saltdal valley to make the distance on the [[alpine tundra]], which often sees snowstorms in winter, as short as possible. The western part is more alpine and steep, and this is where the engabreen glacier tongue of Western Svartisen almost reaches down to the fjord.

==Transport==
There are two main transport routes over the mountains: the [[European route E6|European Route E6]] highway and the [[Nordland Line]].  The E6 highway was opened in 1937 and was asphalted in 1972. Until 1968 the road was closed in the winter. The railway line was built over the mountain during [[World War II]] and opened in 1947.

==Name==
The mountain range is named after the [[Salten]] district, named after [[Saltfjorden]] (the Salt fjord). The last element is the finite form of ''fjell'' which means "mountain".
