Personal highlights

  1. Polar Circle: important line at a latitude of 66°33′46.8″ N
  2. Arctic Circle Centre: only one small restaurant, shop and a toilet
  3. Landscape: baren nature, mostly filled with sand and stones
  4. Road E6: a seemingly endless straight stretch of concrete
  5. Journey: along the long drive from Trondheim to the Lofoten
