Introduction:
Lofoten (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈluːfuːtən]) 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. Lofoten is known for a distinctive scenery with mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.

The Lofoten archipelago is composed of seven principal islands arching off mainland Norway over 100 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. 130 kilometers of scenic road, the E10, connects the five easterly islands, and the final two, Værøy and Røst, are accessible by ferry.
Things to do:
There are ample opportunities for getting outdoors and exploring, visiting fishing villages, and experiencing the midnight sun (from the last week in May through the first week in July). But the best part may be looking around and trying to figure out how there can possibly be such a place.
