Lofoten Islands, Norway ⠀ Perhaps, there are not many places on the whole Earth, the perfect beauty of which is said by everyone who has been there. But the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway are definitely among them. Here, eternal ice meets an ocean storm, and the weather changes every five minutes. ⠀ The main feature of the Lofoten Islands is its remoteness from any tourist routes. 20 years ago, the archipelago was a godforsaken place inhabited by some fishermen, but everything changed in 2007, when the E-10 highway was laid, connecting the islands with the mainland. ⠀ For everyone who is going to visit Lofoten, we have prepared our TOP-5 things to do in this Norwegian corner: ⠀ 1. Go on a whale safari. From spring to early autumn, killer whales and sperm whales hunt here. Huge animals swim near the boats, and in the winter months they are clearly visible from the shore. 2. Go fishing. In spring, cod spawns down to the coast of the islands. At this time, you can catch fish weighing 15 - 20 kg. Lofoten Islands is an ideal place for deep sea fishing. 3. Engage in tracking. The islands have organized many tourist routes, each of which will give a lot of impressions and emotions. The most spectacular routes on the island of Eustvogoy. Mount Runnfjellet is located in the center of the island, incredible landscapes open from the top. 4. Visit the Viking Museum Lofotr. This is a unique, impressive reconstruction of a Viking Age settlement. 5. Meet the Northern Lights. From the archipelago begins the belt of northern lights. When choosing a place for observation, consider several factors: the optimal conditions for observing the northern lights are dry air, clear sky and the absence of the moon in the sky; it is best to go on a trip - from 22-00 to 00-00; need to leave away from the city and away from electric lighting. ⠀ Has anyone been to Lofoten?
