Plus sign after area value means that the glacier is larger, and that part of it lies in Norway. The number indicates the area on Swedish territory.
Päivekjekna (1.23 km2) is a fairly large ice cap on the east slope of Päivektjåkka.
Tjunojekna (0.47+ km2) is an ice cap on the eastern side of Tjunotjåkka. The glacier, partly lying in Norway, reaches down rather low, to 925 m above sea level.
