Norway, Lofoten and Vesteralen islands, july 2007
Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway.
Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude.
The Lofoten Islands are characterised by their mountains and peaks, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin areas.
Vesterålen is made up of several islands. The landscape is mountainous, but the mountains have a more rounded shape compared to the mountains in Lofoten. The towns and villages are situated on the coastal brim between the mountains and the fjords. There are also several lakes.
