Bajep Sårjåsjávrre[3] (transl. Upper Lake Sårjås) is a lake that lies on the northern edge of the Sulitjelma massif[4] near the border between Norway and Sweden. It lies immediately west of larger Vuolep Sårjåsjávrre (Lower Lake Sårjås), which straddles the border between the two countries. The 1.6-square-kilometer (0.62 sq mi)[5] lake lies just to the east of the large Blåmann Glacier.[1]
