Håkvik - Ginnasluokta: Narvik - Ankenes marina

Hakvik occupies a coastal strip on the southern shore of Ofotfjorden in Nordland. Just southwest of Narvik, this small settlement lies where the E6 follows the fjord beneath steep mountain slopes and beside narrow northern waters. It belongs to the Ofoten district, where the deep-water route to nearby Narvik helped make that town an important terminus for Swedish iron-ore traffic. Hakvik Church forms a familiar local landmark, while the main road connects the community with Narvik and settlements farther south. Hakvik presents a quieter, residential side of Norway’s fjord coast. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Hakvik and Ofotfjorden.

Nordland’s terrain shifts from an island-studded Atlantic coast in the west to mountains and inland plateaus near Sweden in the east, creating a long county of fjords, waterways and widely spaced communities. Bodø, just north of the Arctic Circle, is its principal city and was a European Capital of Culture in 2024. Nearby Saltstraumen is famed for its powerful tidal current, while the Vestfjorden separates the mainland from the dramatic Lofoten archipelago. Farther south, Svartisen adds glacier country to a region also shaped by enduring Sámi cultural traditions.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
