These are the best photographs taken (by Sony a700 and NEX-7) during our trip to Arctic Norway:
Lofoten and
Vesteralen Islands,
Tromso, Lyngen Alps, Abisko National Park in Lappland (Sweden) and, finally,
Oslo.
* On Lofoten Islands we lived in the village of Reine. We visited fisherman village named A, climbed Reinebringen mountain to see wonderful views, took a trip on a RIB boat to the Refsvika cave with stone age drawings, and took a boat from Svolvaer to see Trollfjord, white-tailed eagles and to fish herring.
* On Vesteralen Islands we saw cloudberries, reached the northernmost point of the islands in Andenes from which we took a boat trip to watch sperm whales.
* From there we proceeded along the Arctic Ocean shores of Senja Island to Tromso - the capital of Northern Norway. Then we had a 1.5-day adventure trek on Lyngen Glacier with overnight in a Saami camp - the northernmost point of our journey.
* Going south we visited Polar Zoo with lynx, reindeer, moose, wolf, brown bear and wolverine in their native environment. Crossing the border to Sweden we stayed in Abisko National Park and then reached Bodo via Narvik.
* On the way back we had a nice day in Oslo where we visited Viking museum and National Gallery with famous paintings by Edvard Munch ("the Scream")
