The Lofoten Islands

Jagged peaks rising straight out of the sea beside fishing villages painted the same deep red for three hundred years, with the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights taking over in winter.
The best time to visit The Lofoten Islands is Jun–Aug, or Jan–Mar for aurora, when typical daytime highs reach about 16°C (61°F).
