The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago located north of the coast of Norway, north of the Arctic Circle. The Lofoten Islands rise from the green waters like a wall, the mountains here reach 1000 m, and the islands themselves are fringed by a white sandy coast. The landscapes here are magnificent, flocks of sea birds are everywhere, cutting through the air in search of food, picturesque fishing villages hiding in the bays, northern lights. Lofoten is an unforgettable experience, but the population of the five main islands is only 25,000 people.

The main source of income for the islanders is fishing, mainly cod.

Tourism is another source of income for the region. Travelers can go on a tour and see the Maelstrom and other attractions, including the Refsvikhula Cave with Stone Age cave paintings. You can see colonies of seals and sea eagles, puffins and otters, and the mountains are ideal for hiking and rock climbing.
