Inquire as to whether they need to go outside to play and the answer will be an energetic "yes." As I
went through northern Norway on a late campaign over the Arctic Circle, I found that Norwegians share an adoration for nature. They even have a name for it, yet it's more than only a word, it's a perspective, an ethos, a philosophy that is imbued in the texture of their mind—friluftsliv (free-loofts-clear out). Interpreted, it implies investing energy outside, drenched in the wild, encountering nature as much as you can. It's a piece of their social group, and I needed to be a piece of it as well
It ought to shock no one then that Norway prides itself on open air enterprises. All through our Arctic undertaking from Tromsø south through the Lofoten Islands, I really wanted to notice that each one of our aides and teachers delighted in being outside. Every one had affectionate recollections of growing up outside, whether it was investing energy with loved ones or simply venturing out into their patios. Their affection for nature was irresistible and regardless of the climate—no matter what, winter dimness or midnight sun they grasped their adored Mother Nature. You can't resist the urge to sense that Norwegians know some things about living
As I got to be mindful of this friluftsliv, I needed to know more. Norway is a boundless wild brimming with experience, and going with loved ones unquestionably bodes well when going to these remote locales over the Arctic Circle. Actually, going in little gatherings absolutely offered different advantages also. Not just were we the ideal size for our epic trips, yet we were likewise companions and partners who shared these minutes together as we made recollections. What's more, we invited newcomers too. Along these lines, it's in the soul of friluftsliv that our little gathering of voyagers left determined to find this common perspective one of a kind to Norway
We touched base in Tromsø, 200 miles over the Arctic Circle, just before lunch and spent the evening visiting the sights. We saw the astounding A-surrounded Arctic Cathedral; Polaria, an ice sheet exhibition hall and aquarium; and the Polar Museum to find out about Arctic undertakings and the hazardous conditions that confronted brave Norwegians in the late nineteenth century. Our dauntless gathering pioneer then drove us on a pursuit after the midnight sun. We loaded up the Fjellheisen link auto and flew like a falcon high over the city, and when we achieved the top, the most dazzling scene unfurled—without a doubt an indication of things to come. All of a sudden, the mists separated, and surges of brilliant daylight set on fire the Alpine crests out there. It was then that I comprehended friluftsliv, and our gathering of explorers were similarly amazed. Thinking back to my first visit to Norway, I had numerous comparable encounters when I visited fjords along the southwestern drift, yet I didn't have a name for it—as of not long ago

Ocean Safari in Senja
Our Arctic endeavor proceeded with south and after a beautiful ship intersection of the North Sea channel, we landed on Senja, Norway's second biggest island, to set out on a Bergsfjord ocean safari. Our tough, great looking ocean commanders of our fjord-going vessel, Lasse and Luis, steered our enterprises through the fjord and even acquainted us with a couple of new companions.
Groups of Cormorants waved to us from their grandiose roosts upon the rough bluffs; with a touch of cajoling from our skippers, hawks swooped down to gather up their lunch. Ahead out there, seals ambled along rough outcrops before sliding into the ocean. As we traveled past sun-kissed waters and turquoise coral reefs, I needed to advise myself that we were not in the Caribbean. All through our voyage, I think everybody on board acknowledged friluftsliv and we delighted in each moment of it.

To the Lofoten Islands
Proceeding with south from Senja, we were en route to one of Norway's most staggering districts, the Lofoten Islands. The Lofoten Islands are a staggeringly pleasant 70-mile-long archipelago roughly 60 miles over the Arctic Circle. They comprise of seven principle islands extending from Austvågøy in the north to small Røst in the south, with five in the middle of, including Gimsøy, Vestvagøy, Flakstadøy, Moskenesøy, and Værøy. Our undertaking had its sights set on the initial three in this island chain and our main goal, to search out new friluftsliv
