Archipelagos, long light and the northern lights

Northern lights over the Scandinavian coast

Beyond Norway's fjords lie the Stockholm and Finnish archipelagos, Sweden's west coast and the Danish islands: thousands of granite skerries, red wooden villages, fresh seafood and summer evenings that never get dark. In winter, the far north trades sunlight for the aurora.
