Birdwatch Norway... Nordland
The Scandinavian Birding Experience
Nordland is by far the longest county in Norway, stretching more
than four hundred miles, most of them north of the Arctic Circle.
At it's narrowest the distance between the sea and the Swedish
border is only three miles. The biggest island group is the
Lofoten and Vesterålen islands in the northern part. The name is a reminder from times when "Nordlandene" - The Northern Lands
was used as a description of the three northern counties. With its hundreds of islands the county of Nordland is the home of one of Norway's most famous. Lofoten needs no presentation. The
Home of thousands of seabirds, the islands are visited by birders
from all over the world.
