Aisjaure (also Ajsjávrre ) is a lake in the municipality of Arjeplog in Norrbotten County in the Swedish historical province of Lapland . The irregularly shaped lake lies at 420 m above sea level, is 33.98 km² in size and drains to the Skellefte älv . It is associated with other lakes, including the Uddjaure ; its level fluctuates between 418 and 420 m due to its use for energy generation.
