At the very tip of the Lofoten islands in the North of Norway, there is a place called Å. It is a little village with lots of dried cod hanging in and around the place. The landscape is wild and wonderful. The sea is often rough, and the bare mountains rise straight up from the ocean with sharp jagged edges.
Just before midnight, close to the arctic circle, the sun is about to touch the horizon before it rises again. My family and my brother's family stayed together on this spot on Tomma for a week or so. We had the best luck ever with the weather, and we could comfortably swim together with the midnight sun (swimming comfortably is rare any time of day/year in the arctic ocean).
