Finnmark

Finnmark is best known within Norway for the North Cape, the dramatic headland on Magerøya facing the Barents Sea. Norway’s northernmost county stretches across an Arctic coast of islands, fjords and exposed tundra, with long distances between its settlements. The region is central to Sámi culture: Karasjok is home to the Sámi Parliament of Norway, while reindeer husbandry remains important across the interior. Fishing has long shaped coastal communities, and the waters of the Barents Sea support a major maritime economy.
