View of Sortland, known as 'Blåbyen,' where many buildings are painted in shades of blue.
Møysalen National Park
The towering peak of Møysalen, the highest point in Vesterålen, visible in the distance.
Sortlandsundet
A busy maritime channel where you can often spot the Hurtigruten coastal steamers.
Risøyrenna Channel
A shallow, dredged sailing channel near Risøyhamn with strikingly clear, light-colored water.
