Nordland
Enter the Arctic
Whether you choose the snaking Kystriksveien or the Arctic Highway (and we prefer the
former), there are no finer passages into the Arctic anywhere in the world.
Jagged Coast
More than 14,000 islands sit just off the Nordland coast. The Vega archipelago consists of
low-lying skerries; Vesterålen is wild and untrammelled, while Lofoten is arguably
Europe's most spectacular island chain.
Whales & Glaciers
Nordland's coastal landscapes are the scene of Norway's best whale-watching possibilities,
notably from Andenes. Inland, Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park is Norway's second-
largest icefield.
