Narvik

First port of call. Arriving at 2pm and leaving at midnight. Sun sets at 2:50pm. Hopefully the lights grace us with their presence…

Unfortunately, no Cloudberries this visit.

NARVIK, NORWAY
Narvik is situated on the innermost shores of the Ofotfjorden, within the Arctic Circle. The small town enjoys a dramatic backdrop, encircled by mountains and a glacier that spills right to the water's edge. The town served as a port city for the early Viking settlers. Much later, the discovery of iron ore in the nearby Swedish town of Kiruna forever shaped Narvik.
Kiruna needed a year-round ice-free port from which to ship its new discovery, and so a rail link was built directly to the water. Still today, Narvik is a major exporter.Leggi altro
