Lofoten: granite peaks, fishing villages and the midnight sun

The Lofoten Islands lie north of the Arctic Circle: sharp granite peaks rise straight out of the sea, with fishing villages and red rorbu cabins tucked in between.

In summer the sun does not set, so you can sail even at night. It is an easy trip for anyone who wants to try northern sailing without long passages.

• Granite peaks rising straight from the sea
• The fishing villages of Reine, Nusfjord and Henningsvær
• The narrow Trollfjord
• Midnight sun
• Short passages between islands
• Sea eagles over the Trollfjord
