Jagged peaks rising from the sea, red fishing cabins and the midnight sun.

Above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands combine dramatic granite peaks, white-sand beaches and fishing villages like Reine, Hamnøy and Henningsvær. Hike to viewpoints, kayak between islands and stay in traditional rorbuer cabins. Summer brings 24-hour daylight.
