Mt."Tinntinden" in Moskenes island, Lofoten archipelago

Lofoten is a chain of islands far north on the coast of Norway. Lofoten is an absolutely incredible place. It's gorgeous and dramatic, with mountains growing straight out of the ice-cold waters of an Arctic Ocean. At the same time the climate is fairly mild, thanks to the Gulf Stream.

 

The Lofoten Islands are draped across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea, far above the Arctic Circle. This rare wilderness outpost offers an untrammelled landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords, squawking seabird colonies and long, surf-swept beaches.

“The beauty of this place is simply staggering.”
