Archipelago and traditional district in Nordland, Norway
About Lofoten
Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten has distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches, and untouched lands. There are two towns, Svolvær and Leknes — the latter approximately 169 km (105 mi) north of the Arctic Circle and 2,420 km (1,500 mi) from the North Pole. Winter temperatures in the archipelago are extremely mild considering its northerly location – possibly the largest positive temperature anomaly in the world relative to latitude.
