In Norway, the Lofoten archipelago is strikingly beautiful. It looks like Polynesian islands lost in the cold and snow. Located in the northern region of the most rugged coastline in the world, its rocky coastline dotted with fishing villages that live in much of the inshore cod. The Arctic region is exceptionally productive because of its shallow depth, the moving ice edge nearby and the meeting between the polar waters and the warm Gulf Stream.
