Tromsø

Below are the pictures taken during my visit in Tromsø, a city located in Northern Norway. We arrived during the Midnight Sun Marathon, after three flights. And the sun didn’t set! The city has a very nice atmosphere. I think I’d like to live there, but I’m not sure about winter and the polar night…

Lavvu

Temporary dwelling used by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. It was used as a shelter during the midnight sun marathon:
