The Midnight Sun
In the areas to the west and the north of the Lofoten islands the midnight sun is visible from 27 May till 17 July. At Værøy and Røst this period is a little shorter.
Birds
Lofoten has an abundant selection of birds. We meet birds from the forest, moors, highlands, sea and ocean, and many species which migrate past Lofoten every spring and autumn. The white-tailed eagle flourishes in Lofoten, and the area has one of the world´s largest stocks. Most sea bird species are found in this region: razorbill, guillemot, cormorant, kittiwake and the characteristic puffin, just to mention a few. Especially the farthest islands of Værøy and Røst are renowned for their bird colonies and bird rocks. Hundreds of thousands of puffins and other sea birds can be heard and seen here, joined in a colourful orchestra.

Winter Events in Lofoten Islands
WINTER IN LOFOTEN**
A cluster of islands reaches out for more than 100 miles along the North Norwegian coastline. The southernmost islands lie approximately 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle and almost 70 miles from the mainland. The group of islands is called LOFOTEN. Why not come in winter, when the snow-capped peaks rise straight out of the sea, the northern lights flicker overhead and the small fishing villages around Svolvær and Henningsvær are at their quietest and most atmospheric.
