The North Cape: exploring Scandinavia

Personal highlights

  1. Mo i Rana: farming and trading outpost since the Iron Age
  2. Arctic Circle: this northern city lies just below the polar circle
  3. Ranfjorden: one of many fjords that looks and feels like a real lake
  4. Svartisen: arriving too late and having no time to visit the glacier 
  5. Journey: quick pitstop on my route from Alesund to Trondheim
