Discover Arctic Traditions and Coastal Heritage with the History Channel.
In partnership with the History Channel, delve into the Arctic culture and history of Vestvågøy Island and its surrounding villages.
Journey through the fertile farmland of Lofoten, a vital resource for Arctic communities alongside fishing. At Borg, explore the Viking Museum, where archaeological finds reveal connections between the Arctic and Europe. Learn about life in AD 900 through demonstrations of Arctic-era crafts like leatherwork and wool preparation.
Travel to Henningsvær, a picturesque fishing village renowned for its Arctic light, beloved by artists and photographers. Discover its central role in the cod-fishing industry, where the Arctic waters have sustained generations. In March, it becomes a hub for a large fishing fleet during the cod season.
Enjoy free time to stroll through the village and visit art galleries showcasing works by national and international artists, including ceramic pieces by Her Majesty Queen Sonja.
