LOFOTEN ISLANDS Soothing Music With Relaxation Nature Videos For Deep Relaxation

It's not exactly easy to reach the Lofoten Islands, just off of Norway's northwestern coast. It takes a flight from Oslo to Bodø, followed by a three- to four-hour ferry ride to reach the archipelago—but you won't regret making the effort. Once there, you'll find clear blue waters that rival the Mediterranean, craggy mountains that rival Iceland, and enough edgy museums and fishing villages to rival...well, just pick any Scandinavian hot spot. Yet while Lofoten's sites may draw some comparisons, the beauty here is truly unparalleled: think colorful fishing villages, majestic fjords, and frozen beaches dotted with surfers. Located 800 miles from Oslo and 95 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten archipelago is known for its remote, rugged beauty. Painters and authors have long drawn inspiration from the islands, which make appearances in many Norwegian paintings and the work of Jules Verne.The water in Lofoten can be as clear and blue as the Caribbean or Mediterranean (if not nearly as warm). Just take a look at the waters surrounding Haukland Beach for proof, where kayaking and swimming are inviting propositions during the summer months.
