Wonderful landscape view with perfect weather during our voyage with Hurtigruten MS Polarlys in October 2018. When this picture was taken we passed the magical polar circle northwards a few hours ago. So amazing!

A view of the beautiful Briksdalen Valley with the rapidly retreating Briksdalsbreen (Briksdal in English) Glacier in the background. The latter is an arm of the massive Josterdalsbreen Glacier. The river used to be part of Briksdalsbreen. See it if you can before it disappears.

Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten has distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. Its largest town, Leknes, is approximately 169 km (105 mi) inside the Arctic Circle and approximately 2,420 km (1,500 mi) away from the North Pole, making Lofoten one of the world's northernmost populated regions. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude.
"There is evidence of human settlement extending back at least 11,000 years in Lofoten, and the earliest archaeological sites ... are only about 5,500 years old, at the transition from the early to late Stone Age." Iron Age agriculture, livestock, and significant human habitation can be traced back to c. 250 BC.[1]
