Skibotn - Ivgobahta - Yykeänperä

Few settlements in Troms og Finnmark have a history as closely tied to cross-border trade as Skibotn. Set where the Skibotnelva reaches the inner Storfjorden, it lies in a broad valley leading east towards Finland and Sweden, while the Lyngen Alps rise across the fjord. For centuries, routes through this corridor connected coastal communities with inland Sápmi; the annual Skibotn Market, established in 1835, became an important meeting place for Sami, Kven and Norwegian traders. Its roads, river, mountains and fjord still express the practical character of Norway’s northern borderlands. Browse additional webcams from the Storfjord area to extend your view of northern 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.

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.
