The Lofoten Islands, that's midnight sun and northern lights. Fish and sturdy boats. Grey/black mountains rise from the deep blue ocean high into the sky. At their feet there are small wooden fishing villages where cod dries on racks. Eagles circle above schools of herring, driven to the coast by killer whales. Otters on the rocks chew on the fish and crabs they just caught. The Norwegian archipelago the Lofoten, located above the Arctic Circle, is considered among the most beautiful archipelagos in the world. On this website photographer Eric Fokke shows why.
Northern Lights over Svinøya, Svolvaer. April has once again provided the Lofoten Islands with nights of beautiful Northern Lights. But the season is drawing to a close. In another week, the nights will be so short that perhaps some Northern Lights will be visible between 1:00 and 2:00. Meanwhile, the first flowers are starting to shoot out of the ground. Only on the mountains does some snow remain.
