Introducing Vesterålen
Administratively, the islands of Vesterålen, the northern continuation of the archipelago that includes Lofoten, are divided between the counties of Nordland and Troms. Although the landscapes here aren’t as dramatic as those in Lofoten, they tend to be much wilder and the forested mountainous regions of the island of Hinnøya are a unique corner of Norway’s largely treeless northern coast.
