Tromsø: Weather Live in
Few places in Northern Norway have a history as closely tied to Arctic exploration, fishing and seafaring as Tromsø. Spread across Tromsøya island and the mainland beside the Tromsøysundet strait, the city is a working regional centre as well as a university town. Its harbour has long connected northern coastal communities with the wider Norwegian Sea, while expeditions to the Arctic made Tromsø an important departure point in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The triangular Arctic Cathedral, completed in 1965 on the mainland, is among its best-known modern landmarks. Across the water, compact neighbourhoods, quays and public buildings meet slopes that rise into the rugged terrain surrounding this far-northern city.
