Lofoten Islands
Few visitors forget their first sighting of the Lofoten Islands. The jagged ramparts
of this astonishing island chain rise abruptly from the sea in summer greens and
yellows or the stark blue and white of winter, their razor-sharp peaks stabbing at a
clear, cobalt sky or shrouded mysteriously in swirling mists. Postcard-perfect vil-
lages with wooden
rorbuer
(fishing huts) cling to the shoreline while the A-frame
racks for drying fish tell of a land and a culture intimately entwined with the sea.
