Bertnes
Few places in Nordland have a history as closely tied to the long settlement of the Bodin district as Bertnes. East of Bodø, it follows National Road 80, the principal road connection between Bodø and Fauske, across low built-up ground near Saltfjorden. Housing, roadside services and commercial premises give this part of Bodø a practical urban character, while roundabouts, pavements and cycle routes organise its daily movement. The medieval stone Bodin Church represents the older cultural landscape of the wider district. Bertnes is a working link between Bodø’s coastal city and communities farther inland in Nordland.

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.
