Part 2/9:
With a milder climate than many other locations at the same latitude, thanks to its proximity to the Gulf Stream, Lofoten offers a unique experience. The islands served as a settlement ground for humans as far back as 11,000 years, evidenced by archaeological sites that date back over 5,500 years. The legacy of the Vikings looms large here, with the longest Viking longhouse ever recorded, stretching an impressive 83 meters, reconstructed and now serving as a living museum.
