This small but revealing museum illustrates the milit-
ary campaigns fought hereabouts in the early years of WWII. The presentation may not be
flash but it will still move you. Pick up a folder that explains each of the museum's sec-
tions.
Water Spout
WATER JET
No, Narvik can't claim geothermal activity. But locals reckon that its water is the purest
in the land. Each day at 1pm and 9pm from May to September, a valve is released and
a mighty 75m-high plume of water spurts skywards. Clearly visible from town, it's even
more impressive up close at the viewpoint beside Norvik's hydropower station. The fine
spray is a source of huge fun for kids in rain gear and you might see a magic rainbow
through the droplets. To get there, take the road that rises eastwards opposite the Best
Western Narvik Hotel.
