Feel The Warmth of Lofoten Islands

Despite being located in the Arctic Circle, Norway’s Lofoten Islands boast surprisingly warm climes, thanks to the Gulf Stream. This current, a warm river within the Atlantic Ocean, bathes Lofoten with warmer waters, leading to mild winters and temperate summers. The average temperature hovers around zero in winter, unusual for its latitude.

Compared to other settlements in the same latitudes, the weather here is idyllic. Even more fascinating, the sea remains unfrozen, luring arctic surfers to its icy swells. Summer offers a comfortable 12°C average and 24-hour daylight, inviting visitors to explore its dramatic peaks, deep fjords, and charming fishing villages under the glow of the midnight sun.
