Lofoten is the world's most dramatic arctic archipelago — jagged peaks rise directly from the Norwegian Sea, fishing villages cluster in red rorbu cabins on rockfaces, and the Northern Lights dance through winter nights. Haukland Beach is the world's northernmost sandy beach, and the hike to Reinebringen summit is one of Scandinavia's finest views.
