Nordland

Submitted by mhabich on

Nordland is a county in Northern Norway. Nordland has an endless and very rugged coastline with thousands of islands. Further inland there are high mountains, glaciers and plateaus. Nordland is a long, narrow strip of the mainland, while wide archipelagos stretch far into the Atlantic. Because of fjords cutting deep into the bedrock Nordland is only a few kilometers wide from the border to the sea at the narrowest points.

Summers have non-stop daylight (including midnight sun), while during the darker season there is frequent display of northern lights (aurora borealis).
