In just three months, the Lofoten Islands—located above the Arctic Circle—transition from weeks of 24-hour darkness or twilight to their first glimpse of the midnight sun. February marks the heart of this transformation, offering a perfect balance: enough darkness to chase the northern lights yet a few hours of daylight to admire the stunning landscape, where towering mountains meet the sea. A scenic highway winds through the islands, leading to the charmingly named village of Å, passing historic fishing settlements with traditional wooden cabins perched on stilts along the water’s edge.
