Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago of islands at the 67th and 68th degree parrallels in the Arctic circle, off the Northwest coast of Norway. The principal islands, running from north to south, are Austvågøy, Gimsøy, Vestvågøy, Flakstadøy and Moskenesøy, whilst further to the south are the small and isloated islands of Vaeroy and Rost. The total land area amounts to 1,227 sq. km, and there is a population of around 24,500 people. Between the mainland and the Lofoten Wall lies the Vestfjord. The Lofoten islands are characterised by their mountains and peaks, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin areas.
