Jostedalsbreen

Mainland Europe's largest glacier appears as a vast, shimmering white plateau among the peaks.

🧊

Svartisen Glacier

Norway's second-largest glacier is clearly visible when crossing the Arctic Circle near Bodø.

🏔️

Lyngen Alps

Incredible jagged peaks and deep valleys that dominate the landscape during the approach to Tromsø.

⛰️

Saltfjellet Range
