High above the Arctic Circle and northeast of the Norwegian city of Tromso, the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsalpene) span 56 miles (90 kilometers) from Lyngenfjord in the south to Ullsfjord near the Swedish border. This majestic mountain range features a dramatic landscape of deep gorges, gleaming icy glaciers, and wild, boulder-filled rivers. Visitors can explore the rugged terrain, traverse the glaciers, and follow the paths of the rushing rivers, immersing themselves in the raw, natural beauty of the region.
