Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Sunlight behaves unusually here: during summer, the sun never sets for about two months, creating a surreal 'midnight sun' effect. The islands boast some of the steepest mountains in Norway, ideal for dramatic hiking and climbing adventures.

Destaques: A quirky tradition involves drying racks full of stockfish that line the shores, a sight shaped by centuries of fishing heritage unique to the area. Vibrant red cabins called 'rorbuer' perch on stilts over the water, offering postcard-perfect scenes coupled with a rustic charm.
