The Lofoten Islands by kayak and ski
05/03/2014 • Lea Hartl
The Lofoten Islands are an elongated group of islands off the coast of Norway. They lie around 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, between 67 and 68 degrees latitude.

The islands were settled 6000 years ago and people have lived from fishing since time immemorial. -
