Nordland

Nordland’s terrain shifts from an island-studded Atlantic coast in the west to mountains and inland plateaus near Sweden in the east, creating a long county of fjords, waterways and widely spaced communities. Bodø, just north of the Arctic Circle, is its principal city and was a European Capital of Culture in 2024. Nearby Saltstraumen is famed for its powerful tidal current, while the Vestfjorden separates the mainland from the dramatic Lofoten archipelago. Farther south, Svartisen adds glacier country to a region also shaped by enduring Sámi cultural traditions.
