Sørvika: Blomjoten

The coastal terrain around Sorvik is steep and broken by the waters of Vågsfjorden, which has shaped both the pattern of settlement and the local economy. Known in Norwegian as Sørvik, the community lies on Hinnøya in Harstad municipality, south of Harstad, where County Road 83 connects it to the regional road network. Fjord travel and fishing have long linked settlements along this shore, while mountains rise close behind the built-up strip. In nearby Harstad, medieval Trondenes Church recalls the district’s older cultural history. Browse additional webcams from Vågsfjorden and the Harstad area to extend your view of coastal Troms.

Troms occupies a mountainous Arctic coastal and inland area in northern Norway, well above the Arctic Circle. Deep fjords cut into a terrain of islands, broad valleys and rugged high ground, while the Lyngen Alps rise beside Lyngenfjord in the east of the region. Tromsø, the largest city in northern Norway, is an important centre for Arctic research, education and culture. Sámi heritage is also an essential part of Troms, reflected in place names, reindeer husbandry and living traditions across the north.
