Scandinavia, The Baltic & Iceland

Loftsten Island (Gravdel), Norway

This archipelago huddles within the Arctic Circle, and is as spectacular as you would imagine. Great granite cliffs rise from blue waters, tiny fishing villages nestle amidst green mountains, and white beaches fringe bird-rich shores.
