Far out across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea lie the Lofoten Islands. This wilderness outpost offers a beautiful and unspoiled landscape of mountains, fjords, long beaches and bustling colonies of seabirds. A range of outdoor activities are available in the area, including hiking, skiing, fishing and even scuba diving. The islands' northern location mean that, depending on the season, they are an excellent place to experience either the midnight sun or the hauntingly beautiful aurora borealis - the northern lights.
