Hemmestad - Hinak: Gullesfjord
Gullesfjord is best known in Troms for its long fjord inlet reaching into Hinnøya, Norway’s largest island outside Svalbard. Near Hemmestad and Hinak, the water narrows between mountain slopes, while birch and conifer woodland covers much of the lower shore. This is part of northern Norway’s deeply indented coast, where arms of the sea extend inland between high ground and settlements occupy the limited flatter margins. Coastal life on Hinnøya has traditionally combined fishing with small-scale farming. Gullesfjord is defined by the close meeting of saltwater, forest and mountain terrain rather than urban development.

Hinnøya’s mountainous, indented coastline defines the setting of Hemmestad–Hinak, where homes and local roads occupy limited lower ground between the sea and rising slopes. This part of Troms lies on mainland Norway’s largest island, shared with Nordland and shaped by fjords, sheltered inlets and rapidly changing coastal weather. Hinnøya also contains Møysalen National Park, which protects a substantial area of northern Norwegian mountain terrain. Fishing, small-scale farming and travel by sea have long influenced life in these coastal communities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Hinnøya and Troms.

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.

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.
