Northern Norway

Region

Norway above the Arctic Circle. The Lofoten islands have fishing villages and jagged peaks, Tromsø is the base for Northern Lights and whale trips, the coastal ferry Hurtigruten runs to Kirkenes, and North Cape is the edge of Europe. Winter has the Northern Lights and summer the midnight sun.
