) through Nordland is for those with leis-
ure to savour its staggering beauty. You might well not have time for the full 650km but a
sample is all but mandatory if you're progressing northwards. It's not one to be rushed. The
frequent ferry hops offer compulsory, built-in breaks and stunning seascapes, while both in-
land glaciers and accessible offshore islands - such as Vega, famous for its eider ducks, or
Lovund, home to 200,000 puffins - are seductive diversions.
