Entering the Trollfjord
As we explored the coast of Norway aboard the Hurtigruten Ferry Trollfjord, the good weather and calm seas allowed us to enter the fjord for which the ship was named. It is a one mile long sidearm of the main fjord near Lofoten, and narrows to about 300 feet across at it's entrance. We marveled at the captain's ability to squeeze into the narrow passageway, and then turn the ship around within it's own length and head back out. This shot was taken near midnight, but almost everyone was still up to witness the passage. The panoramic two story viewing area at the bow of the ship provided a comfortable and scenic spot to view the fjord. The Hurtigruten ferries travel from Bergen to Kirkenes, high above the Arctic Circle and next to the Russian border.
