First, we head to the world’s northernmost fishing village, Skarsvåg, where we visit the cosy ‘Christmas and Winter House’ and meet its owner Heidi, who will give us more insight about life in the Arctic. With festive music playing and rooms sparkling with decorations, there is a range of locally produced items available to peruse. We’ll also be able to enjoy a hot drink and slice of cake here.
Next, we’ll head to the world’s fishing village of Kamøyvær. We’ll will explore this picturesque harbor, which is bustling with fishermen and a small fishing fleet.
