NORDLAND a Continuationofthelofoten Archipelago Thatbelongstothecountyoftroms © Lonely Planet Publications 290 Nordland There’s a difficult choice to make as you head north. The spectacular Kystriksveien coastal route, ferry hopping and perhaps detouring to take in a glacier and offshore island or two? Or the almost-as-stunning inland Arctic Highway, more direct but still lightly trafficked? Whichever you choose, try to build in time to take in Lofoten, a necklace of offshore islands with razor-sharp peaks and Caribbean-coloured bays. Here, cod is still king, as manifested in the small fishing museums, rorbuer (fishing cabins – literally ‘rowers’ dwellings’) and rickety NORDLAND NORDLAND drying frames. Connected by bridges and with reasonable public transport, the islands are easy to hop around. Then again, you may want to linger and hire a bike or pull on your boots; the cycling can even be done by softies and the hiking is as gentle or as tough as you care to make it. Push further north to Andenes, at the northern tip of Andøya, a continuation of the Lofoten archipelago, and you’ll enjoy the best whale watching in all Norway. As you move northwards through the long, narrow Nordland region, the crossing of the Arctic Circle is almost palpable; fields give way to lakes and forests, vistas open up, summits sharpen and the tree line descends ever lower on the mountainsides. In summer, this is where northbound travellers get their first taste of the midnight sun; in winter, the northern lights slash the night sky. In addition to Nordland, this chapter also includes the northeastern section of Vesterålen, a continuation of the Lofoten archipelago that belongs to the county of Troms.

  • Rv 82 Miljøgate Andenes
    REGULERINGSPLAN FOR RV 82 MILJØGATE ANDENES Merknadsbehandling/Dokumenter til sluttbehandling Statens Vegvesen Region Nord, Midtre Hålogaland distrikt Harstad 16.11.2009 SAMMENDRAG Statens Vegvesen har med hjemmel i Plan og bygningslovens § 9-4 utarbeidet forslag til reguleringsplan for Rv 82, Miljøgate Andenes. Strekningen er deler av Storgata fra flyplasskrysset og til krysset ved Nordlandsbanken. Planarbeidet er gjort etter avtale med og i samråd med Andøy kommune. Hensikten med planarbeidet er å legge til rette for oppstramming av trafikale forhold langs Storgata på denne strekningen, samt bedring av forholdene for de myke trafikkantene med utvidelse og oppgradering av fortau og sikring av fotgjengeroverganger. Lokalisering av busstopp og parkeringslommer inngår også. Total lengde er ca 1 km. Prosjektet inngår som en del av trafikksikkerhetsarbeidet i Andenes sentrum. Arbeidet forutsettes gjort samtidig som kommunen foretar utskifting av sitt vann og avløpsnett som ligger i Storgata. Byggestart er avhengig av fylkeskommunale bevilgninger. Det er tidligere utarbeidet et planhefte som tar for seg saksbehandlingen fram til planen er utlagt til offentlig ettersyn, jf innholdsfortegnelsen 1-2. Etter at planen har vært utlagt til offentlig ettersyn i tiden 26.06 – 15.08.09 er det totalt innkommet 7 merknader til planforslaget med bestemmelser. Statens vegvesen har gjennomgått og kommentert disse. Etter avtale med kommunen ble det arrangert et informasjonsmøte om planen den 1.oktober 2009. Det foreligger i alt 7 innspill etter dette møtet. I tillegg har det vært drøftet med kommunen ulike detaljløsninger i planen. Planen er revidert 01.11.09 og gjennomgått med kommunen i møte 10.11.09. Det er ikke fremmet innsigelse til planen og dette medfører etter Statens vegvesen sitt syn at planen kan egengodkjennes av kommunestyret.

(Foto: Vågan kommune) Svolvær 19 juni-17, revidert 11 des 2017 etter kommunestyrets vedtak i sak 102 og mekling 19 des- 17. Plankart og vurderinger er oppdatert 20 mars-18 i hht kommunestyrets vedtak i sak 102 og meklingsresultat avklart hos fylkesmannen 19 des-17. 1 1 - INNLEDNING Denne konsekvensutredning inngår som del av forslaget til arealplan med tilhørende bestemmelser, retningslinjer og ROS-analyse. Planens viktigste siktemål er å tilrettelegge for vekst og utvikling i hele kommunen. Dette er et perspektiv som gjennomsyrer kommunens planlegging. Dette har også fått som konsekvens at de viktigste vekstområder i kommunen – Svolvær og Kabelvåg – behandles i egne kommunedelplaner som må sees i sammenheng med denne arealplanen. Svolvær har sin kommunedelplan fra 2012, mens Kabelvåg skal revidere sin gamle plan fra 1995 så snart som mulig. I dette planforslaget er fokus innrettet mot kommunens 8 viktige småsteder som har sine egne skoler og servicetjenester som kan styrke den spredte bosetting og næringsstruktur som kommunen ønsker å videreføre. Kommunen satser tungt på å skape nye arbeidsplasser i skolekretsene for å opprettholde og øke befolkningsgrunnlaget der. Dette sterke fokus på vekst i kommunens ytre områder, kan bli oppfattet som konfliktfylt visavis nasjonale mål om en bærekraftig areal og transportpolitikk der sykkel og gange skal være den gjennomgående strategi for å bedre miljøet i Norge og alle lokalsamfunn. I et slikt perspektiv vil utviklingen i hele kommunen være avgjørende der aksen Svolvær – Kabelvåg vil representere den store vekstkraften.

    CRUISE REPORT MARINE GEOLOGICAL CRUISE TO VESTFJORDEN AND EASTERN NORWEGIAN SEA R.V. Jan Mayen 29.05. -08.06. 2003 by Gaute Mikalsen Torbjørn Dalhgren DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TROMSØ N-9037 TROMSØ, NORWAY Introduction The cruise was a joint cruse between four projects at The Department of Geology, University of Tromsø. For the last part of the cruise we were joined by one scientist and tow technicians from the Norwegian Collage of Fisheries, they embarked in Andenes. Their work spanned the last two days of the cruise And is not reported here. Objectives and Projects The main objective for this cruise was to retrieve sediment cores and seismics for the projects SPONCOM, NORDPAST-2, EUROSTRATAFORM and Dr. T. Dalhgrens project (Statoil). SPONCOM: “Sedimentary Processes and Palaeoenvironment on Northern Continental Margins” is a strategic university programme at Department of Geology, University of Tromsø founded by the Norwegian Research Council. The primary goal is to assess the changes in the physical environment of the seafloor and its overlying water and ice of West Spitsbergen and North Norwegian fjords and continental margin during the last glacial – interglacial cycle. On this cruise the aim was to retrieve material from North-Norwegian fjords and the continental margin elucidating the following sub goals: 1). The chronology and dynamics of the last glaciation – deglaciation. 2). Processes and fluxes of fjord, continental shelf and – slope sedimentation. 3). Rapid palaeoceanographic and palaeclimatic changes, particularly during the last deglaciation and the Holocene. NORPAST-2: “Past Climate of the Norwegian Region – 2” is a national project founded by the Norwegian Research Council.
