Norwegian friends, I need some tips. What clothes should I bring for north up to Tromsø at the beginning of August? I am backpacking and every gram matters. Are one softshell jacket, several short sleeved technical shirts, and 2 long sleeved sports shirts, a synthetic buff, and a pashmina, enough for layering? Are hiking trousers as the only layer enough? I prefer colder weather, everything 14C and more is for short sleeves only.

Would also appreciate tips on:
- Is visiting Lofoten as a day trip from Bodø without flying realistic?
- Any beautiful hikes in Lofoten suitable for couch potatoes with long COVID?
- Best way to get from Bodø to Tromsø is 2 buses to Harstad and then a boat, right? 6AM to 10PM
- Best way to get from Tromsø to Narvik is 2 buses, 4 or so hours?
- Anything else a must see up north?

Svartisen glacier peeking at the sea past Steintinden mountain

Svartisen, “Black ice” glacier, are the collective name of the second and fourth largest glaciers in mainland Norway.

This is the largest, the West glacier at 201 square kilometres, and close to 1400-meter altitude. It is just short of Steintinden mountain peak at 1534 meter above sea level to the south in this photo.

Svartisen glacier is the second largest in continental Europe. It reaches the lowest point of any glacier in Europe, at 20 metres above sea level at Engabreen subglacier. Most of Svartisen lays at 1000 meter above sea level.

It is an enormous amount of ice and water. The landscape around this glacier is formed by older glaciers grinding and forming the mountain, peaks, valleys and fjords.

The Arctic Circle latitude crosses Svartisen close to this point.

Photo shows several mountains towering over a deep blue sea fjord. The different mountains starting from some forest and green bush coverage close to the sea and more and more variants of clear bare, stone types and different shades and colours of blue and grey. Behind the mountains a big, white snow-covered glacier is showing the size and volume of this terrain forming and sculpting behemoth. It is a full, clear blue sky over this show of wild nature. The light from the setting sun gives the landscape a warn hue, contrasting nicely with the cold blue of the sea, the cold white snow and blue sky.

As fun as it gets in a powerful maelstrom

The maelstrom Saltstraumen is one of the strongest tidal currents in the world. It is situated near the city Bodo in Northern Norway, in a beautiful area in a typical coastal landscape for the region.

And as expected, the danger of the rough sea and powerful currents is a challenge to be taken by visitors. Adventurous visitors can enjoy having a wild, wet ride in small boats with powerful engines driving in and out of the whirlpools.

Saltstraumen handles up to 400 million cubic metres of seawater, forcing its way through a 3-kilometre long and 150-metre narrow straight every six hours. Vortices known as whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 metres in diameter and 5 metres in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest. It is claimed the water moves with a speed of 40 km/h at its strongest.

No wonder the author Jules Verne let the submarine Nautilus disappear in a maelstrom in his fictional book “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, released in 1870.

Saltstraumen is one of the scenic spots placed along the national coastal road (Kystriksveien), a scenic 650 km road following the outer coastline of Norway from Bodo to Steinkjer.

Photo shows a narrow fiord with visible strong vortices and whirlpools, and small boats crisscrossing in and out of them. The photo is taken from above, from the road bridge crossing this current. The water is deep blue-green, the landscape is variations of green with some start of fall red orange colours. In the background low mountains, rolling hills and a small farm. To the right there are glimpse of the larger fiord feeding the Maelstrom with water.

From Norway with love. 💙🤍❤️

A row of brightly colored boathouses along a beach on the Norwegian island of Tromsø.

You won't often see me running with my camera, but this sudden burst of colour as the evening sun dipped below the clouds on a gloomy day had me up a twenty-minute hill in ten, leaving just enough time to launch the drone before the light faded back to grey.

Nesseby, Varanger Peninsula, Norway 2023

This wooden frame construction on the coast of the Varanger peninsula was used to dry fish. Cod, I think. It's strange how this seemingly fragile construction manages to withstand the harshand salty winds brought in by the sea. An old saami fishing boat is still laying in its belly, resting until it is no more.
In the background of the third picture, there is the beautiful white church of Nesseby. It looks so light in the fog, it's almost like its afloat in the bay.
It's like time stood still here. I imagine weathered fishermen coming back from a hard days work, or their families gathering at the church praying for their safe return. It feels very special to stand in this place.

I visited Varanger in 2023, but had to return to a more inhabited world due to a self-inflicted car malfunction :P I'm set on returning this summer.
I'm open to any and all suggestions for great hikes in this area! Let me know if you have some tips!

The beautiful mountain of Segla on the beautiful island of Senja in the beautiful country of Norway

Yup, beauty all around.
It's surprisingly easy to make your way to the top of this pointy mountain. It looks very steep from this side, but there's a less steep path on the other side of this viewpoint.
Once you've made your way to the top, the views are quite epic. You can look down on all the surrounding mountains and the sea, honestly one of the most impressive views I've ever seen. Feels literally a bit like being on the top of the world.

The first picture is a view of Segla from the first plateau of the trail.
The second picture is a view from the top, with some accidental tourist dude for scale :)
