Norway - Norge - Noreg
Nordland county
Andenes

At the very tip of the island you find Andenes, a small town with a lot to show of. Best know are the whale safaries that are organized from here and take you out on the open ocen to have a look at the big whales out there. But as most places along the long coast, fishing has had a very important part of the development and history. While waiting for the trip on the sea, here are something of what you can see. There is also a free sight towards the north here, which mean you will have a good view of the midnight sun, no mountain that block the sight at midnight, when the sun is still above the surface of the ocean.
