Čietnjalluokta - Djupvik - Siennalahti

Across Troms, few settlements possess a past so interwoven with Sámi, Kven and Norwegian communities as Čietnjalluokta–Djupvik–Siennalahti. It lies on the eastern side of Lyngenfjord in Kåfjord municipality, across the water from the Lyngen Alps, whose high, glaciated terrain shapes this stretch of northern coast. The three names point to the area’s multilingual heritage: Čietnjalluokta is Northern Sámi, Djupvik Norwegian, and Siennalahti Kven. Here the fjord is not merely scenery but a route linking dispersed settlements around the coast. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Troms connects regionally.
