Kjeungskjær lighthouse (or fyr in NO) sits at the entrance to Trondheim Fjord in lovely Trøndelag County. The clearing you see in the sky is that very same clearing at sunset before the night in which we saw our first evening’s aurora, and then crossed into the arctic circle.
County Views.151
Look closely to the right side of the island above and you’ll see a circle marking where the artic circle passes through Jetvik, in Norway’s Nordland County. We crossed it heading north at 8:07 on Wednesday morning. The boat captain shone a light on the marker, as you see in the gallery below, but I found this image clearer.

Above taken at 14:06 with sun on the mountains behind Bodø’s train station, the northernmost in Norway. Bottom photo, taken once back on the boat at 14:57, is obviously post sunset.
Village Views.102
Our boat docked at Svolvaer around 21:30 on Wednesday evening, and we had about an hour to explore this little village that was described as the ‘capital of the Lofoten islands.’ Then we hopped back on the boat for the overnight to Tromsø, which we’ll show you in due course. 😊The sun had set around 14:00 as we explored Bodø, the prior port call where I got lovely sunset shots which you’ll see in due course. It felt odd to explore a new village for an hour starting at 9:30pm, but c’est la vie on this cruise.

Another momentous event happened for two hours between yesterday 23:30 and today 01:30, but those are harder photos to take and judge fit for blog purposes. So stay tuned 🙂
