VESTERÅLEN CRUISE PORT - SORTLAND Vesterålen Is a Group of Islands in Northern Norway, Just North of the Lofoten Islands VESTERÅLEN CRUISE PORT - SORTLAND Vesterålen is a group of islands in Northern Norway, just north of the Lofoten Islands. The Vesterålen islands are connected by bridges and are also linked with the mainland, making travel ferry-free. Vesterålen comprises five municipalities: Andøy, Sortland, Øksnes, Bø and Hadsel. Midnight sun Sortland bridge. Photo: Marten Bril/ www.visitvesteralen.com VESTERÅLEN Kingdom of the whales The Northern Lights appear with the advent of the winter season. The breathtakingly beautiful colours of the Aurora Borealis shimmer across the sky and create a bewitching atmosphere. Steep snow-covered mountains are reflected on the ocean surface, along with the Arctic lightshow from above. In summer we have 24 hours of daylight and you can experience the awe-inspiring Midnight Sun. Vesterålen is also located at the edge of the continental shelf with nutrient rich Arctic waters, and it is the only place in Norway where there are whale safaris all year round. Some popular attractions in the region are Whale Safari, Inga-Sami-Siida, the Trollfjord, Nyksund, the Norwegian Fishing Industry Museum in Melbu and the Hurtigruten Museum.

  • Forlengelse Av Rullebaner I Lofoten Og Vesterålen – Effekter På Marked, Ruteøkonomi Og Statstøtte
    TØI-rapport 1132/2011 Forfatter(e): Jon Inge Lian, Harald Thune-Larsen og Lars Draagen Oslo 2011, 31 sider Sammendrag: Forlengelse av rullebaner i Lofoten og Vesterålen – effekter på marked, ruteøkonomi og statstøtte Lengre rullebane på Leknes og Stokmarknes kan gi direkterute til Oslo med turbopropfly. I tillegg vil det bli mer konkurranse på noen regionale flyruter med tilskudd fra staten. Tilskuddet til regionale flyruter vil halveres fra dagens nivå på 105 millioner kr per år. En stamflyplass i Lofoten vil kunne få et tilstrekkelig marked for et stort jetfly rundt år 2020-2025, fordi det kan regnes med en betydelig tilbudsstimulering. Tilskuddet til regionale flyruter vil da gå ned til anslagsvis 27 millioner kr, en besparelse på 78 millioner kr per år. Det er òg grunnlag for ruter til Trondheim og Tromsø. En regional jet til Oslo vil passe bedre til markedsstørrelsen, men gir i mindre grad rom for billige billetter. Hadsel kommune og Vestvågøy kommune ønsker forlengelse av rullebanene på Stokmarknes lufthavn og Leknes lufthavn for å skape muligheter for å håndtere større fly enn i dag. Det er også foreslått en 2000 m rullebane for jetfly i Lofoten. Alle alternativer kan gi grunnlag for direkteruter til Oslo og besparelser for staten i sitt kjøp av regionale flyrutertjenester (FOT-ruter) i området. Det er ikke offentlig kjøp av flyruter på Stokmarknes. Det årlige tilskuddet og antall passasjerer på FOT- rutene er: Røst 12 millioner kr 10 000 passasjerer Leknes 30 millioner kr 90 000 passasjerer Svolvær 37 millioner kr 70 000 passasjerer Andenes 26 millioner kr 37 000 passasjerer Det er sett på to alternativer – det ene er 1200-1400 m rullebane som kan ta ned fly på 50-76 seter, det andre er en ny stor felles flyplass i Lofoten som kan ta ned større jetfly.

Bergen experiences only five rain-free days a year, and this exceptional weather was being fully enjoyed by the locals, especially as this was also the Norwegian National Day holiday weekend. We set out on foot early this morning, for a tour of the old wharf-side district of Bryggen with its picturesque and higgledy-piggledy medieval wooden houses, their colorful gables lit up by today’s bright sunshine. Next, we boarded coaches which took us to Troldhaugen, the home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg for over 20 years. The hut where he did much of his work still stands on the lakeside at the foot of the garden. We were treated to an excellent piano recital of some of Grieg’s music before we went to lunch. All too soon, it was time to return to Bergen where our home for the next two weeks, the Ocean Adventurer, awaited us. Once settled in our cabins, our Expedition Leader, John Yersin, introduced us to his team of Zodiac drivers and lecturers who would be accompanying us on our journey over the next two weeks.
