This morning, we anchored near the port of Gravdal, a little village in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the island of Vestvågøya in the central part of the Lofoten archipelago, north of the Arctic Circle. We took a 3.5-hour bus tour of the island, although I’m sure we could have completed a full island loop in 4 hours! We had two stops along the way, one was a brief visit at an Ice Bar, while the other was in an adorable little gallery.
Photo was taken at 3pm on a very cold clear afternoon overlooking deck 14.
But when the captain announced that the northern lights could be seen on the ship’s port side at 8:45 p.m., though it was colder than it had been at 3 p.m., hundreds of passengers flocked to deck 14 to enjoy what would be an incredible light show produced by nature!

The lights left me speechless
One of Gods many wonders!
Two Nordic gods and their world. What an incredible experience. The outport scenes reminded us so much of Newfoundland. Such breathtaking country. Thanks for sharing.

We’re so lucky
If that wasn’t the most perfect day ever, I don’t know what could be! I thought the ice bar was very cool, til I saw the northern lights, WoW.
