Spend the night in Bergen. Attractions: Bergen DAY 2 DAY 2: HIGHLIGHTS OF BERGEN Despite being an international city, Bergen has kept the atmosphere and charm of a small town. Here you’ll find Bryggen--a UNESCO World Heritage site, exceptionally maintained old houses, the vibrant fish and flower market, cable cars offering stunning views, great museums and more. You can also take the one-hour “mini-train” express sightseeing tour through the city centre, offering such sights as the Maria Church, King Håkon’s Hall and the Rosenkrantz Tower along with a panoramic view of the city from the Fjellveien Road. In the evening, you'll embark on the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage and spend the night on board the cruise ship. Attractions: Bergen, Bryggen DAY 3 DAY 3: MALØY - TORVIK - ÅLESUND - MOLDE - KRISTIANSUND Among highlights on today’s journey is the Art Nouveau town of Ålesund and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Geirangerfjord. Along the way, the ship passes snow-peaked mountains and impressive waterfalls, such as the Seven Sisters and Bridal Veil, as it navigates carefully from one fjord to another. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. Attractions: Ålesund, Geirangerfjord, Seven Sisters & Bridal Veil 1/5 DAY 4 DAY 4: TRONDHEIM - RORVIK Early in the morning the ship arrives in the historic city of Trondheim. Here you will have about 3.5 hours to explore the city on your own or take an optional sightseeing tour. Trondheim is the original capital of Norway, and until the 16th century, Trondheim was known as Nidaros. Here you'll find Nidaros Cathedral, which is one of Scandinavia’s largest buildings from the Middle Ages, and tiny, picturesque old wooden houses. From Trondheim, the ship sails on to Rorvik, where the southbound and northbound coastal ships meet. Spend another night on board the ship.

Then, the ship sails across the Vagsfjord and to the magnificent archipelagos in the north. Later on there is a stop in lively Tromsø, the largest town in northern Norway, with 52,000 inhabitants. Tromsø, often called “Paris of the North,” was a port of call for Russian, British, Dutch, and German ships in the 19th century, before they embarked on Arctic expeditions and hunting trips. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. Attractions: Tromsø 2/5 DAY 7 DAY 7: HAMMERFEST - HONNINGSVÅG - KJOLLEFJORD - BERLEVAG Finnmark’s landscape and wildlife are not to be missed! Here, rookeries of puffins and gannets along the cliffs and pods of Orca hunting for herring make for a unique experience. Today the ship stops at Honningsvåg, near North Cape, where you have about 3 hours of free time on land. From there, the ship heads east towards the charming fishing villages of Kjollefjord, Mehamn and Berlevag. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. Attractions: North Cape DAY 8 DAY 8: KIRKENES - VARDØ - BATSFJORD - BERLEVAG In the morning, the ship docks at Kirkenes for a few hours before turning around and starting the return voyage south. This town in the extreme northern part of Norway is home to some 3,300 inhabitants, including the native Sámi people. On the southbound voyage, the ship calls at ports passed in the night on the trip north. The journey takes you past Varangerfjord, Norway’s only east-facing fjord, before arriving in Vardø, the easternmost point of the country. After a stop at Vardø, the ship rounds the Varanger peninsula, where archaeologists excavated a community believed to date from 9,000 BC. Later today, the scenery includes the Tanahorn Mountain, which long ago was a Sami sacrifice site. Attractions: Kirkenes, Tanahorn Mountain, Varangerfjord, Vardø DAY 9 DAY 9: HONNINGSVÅG -HAMMERFEST - TROMSØ The first port of the day is Honningsvåg, where the ship docks early in the morning. Then the ship continues to Havøysund and Hammerfest, considered by some to be the world’s most northerly town, where you have some free time for about 1.5 hours. Despite its remote location, some 6,000 people live here, and the town was the first Norwegian town to have electric street lighting and its own power station. The next destination is Oksfjord, where large pieces of ice calved from a glacier float out to sea. In the evening, the ship docks once again in Tromsø, where you have some some free time for roughly 2 hours. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. Attractions: Hammerfest, Havøysund 3/5 DAY 10 DAY 10: HARSTAD - SORTLAND - SVOLVÆR - STAMSUND The Lofoten Islands and Vesterålen offer some of the most stunning scenery on the whole journey. As the ship navigates carefully through shallow waters and narrow channels, sit back and enjoy the breathtaking sights. Today's route also takes you through the beautiful Trollfjord and on to Svolvær and Stamsund before reaching Badø. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. Attractions: Lofoten Islands & Svolvær, Vesterålen DAY 11 DAY 11: ORNES - SANDNESSJØEN - RØRVIK Today the ship makes its second crossing of the Arctic Circle, sailing past such highlights as the famed peaks of the dancing Seven Sisters Mountain, Torghatten and the island of Sandnessjøen.

    CORRELATION BEWEEN THE LATE PRECAMBRIAN OLDER SANDSTONE SERIES OF THE VARANGERFJORD AND TANAFJORD AREAS PKELIMINARY REPORT by Signe-Line Røe1 ) Abstract. Sedimentary rocks belonging to the late Precambrian Older Sandstone Series (over lain unconformably by the Eo-Cambrian—Lower Cambrian Vestertana Group) are described from the Vadsø—Komagelven area on the northern side of Varanger- fjord. The c. 1300 m thick Varangerfjord Older Sandstone Series succession is divided into trwelve informal members. A correlation of the upper c. 1000 m of this succession with the late Precambrian Tanafjord Group is then presented. Finally the regional discordance present between the Older Sandstone Series and the Vestertana Group is briefly mentioned. Introduction. The area investigated is situated on the northern side of Varanger fjord, East Finnmark, between longitudes 29° 38' and 30° 20' east and latitudes 70° 04' and 70° 18' north. For mapping purposes, 1:50 000 AMS topographical maps were used as aerial photographs were not available. The mapped area covers approximately 450 sq. km. Good exposure is, in general, restricted to the coastal section and to the inland valleys. x ) Student, University of Bergen. Present adress: NGU, boks 3006, Trondheim. 231 Previous to this investigation the area had not been mapped geo logically. The geological map presented with this paper does, however, include a tract of ground mapped by Siedlecka & Siedlecki in 1968, that of the Kjøltindene-Grythaugen—Holmfjellet area. (Fig. 1 and map, fig. 3). A brief description of the rocks occurring along the coastal section of the present area was given by Holtedahl (1918). In 1969 Hobday, Geddes and Reading (Oxford University) studied these same sediments, this work forming a part of a recent publication (Banks et al.

    Facies Distributions and Lithostratigraphic Correlation in the Late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation, East Finnmark, Norway

    Facies distributions and lithostratigraphic correlation in the late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation, east Finnmark, Norway HOWARD D. JOHNSON Johnson, H. D.: Facies distributions and lithogratigraphic correlation in the late Precambrian Ekkerøy Forrnation, east Finnmark, Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 58, pp. 175-190. Oslo 1978. ISSN 0029-196X. The late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation of east Finnmark occurs at the top of the Vadsø Group and extends throughout the Tanafjorden-Varangerfjorden region. It consists of a uniform vertical and lateral facies pattern, in which four facies characteristically form part of a large-scale coarsening upward, marine- dominated regressive sequence. Lateral facies and thickness variations between inner Varanger­ halvøya (12�190 m thick) and Varangerfjorden (15-35 m thick) are the product of both primary depositional thickness variations and a gentle, southerly dipping unconforrnity at the base of the overlying Grønnes Formation. The transgression at the base of the Grønnes Formation (basal Tanafjord Group) marked a major change in depositional conditions from the fluvially-dominated Vadsø Group below to the shallow marine-dominated Tanafjord Group above. This junction is the most distinctive lithostratigraphic horizon in an otherwise conformable 2,000 m thick, clastic-dominated succession. H. D.

Short communication New records of the rare gastropods Erato voluta and Simnia patula, and first record of Simnia hiscocki from Norway Jon-Arne Sneli1 and Torkild Bakken2 Sneli J-A, and Bakken T. 2017. New records of the rare gastropods Erato voluta and Simnia patula, and first record of Simnia hiscocki from Norway. Fauna norvegica 37: 20-24. New records of rare gastropod species are reported. A live specimen of Erato voluta (Gastropoda: Triviidae), a species considered to have a far more southern distribution, has been found from outside the Trondheimsfjord. The specimen was sampled from a gravel habitat with Modiolus shells at 49–94 m depth, and was found among compound ascidians, its typical food resource. Live specimens of Simnia patula (Caenogastropoda: Ovulidae) have during the later years repeatedly been observed on locations on the coast of central Norway, which is documented by in situ observations. In Egersund on the southwest coast of Norway a specimen of Simnia hiscocki was in March 2017 observed for the first time from Norwegian waters, a species earlier only found on the south-west coast of England. Also this was documented by pictures and in situ observations. The specimen of Simnia hiscocki was for the first time found on the octocoral Swiftia pallida. doi: 10.5324/fn.v37i0.2160.

Arctic warming and decreasing sea-ice cover along the Siberian coast in the Arctic Ocean leads to greater accessibility for operations such as oil drilling and traffic of tankers. This implies increasing risks for Steller’s Eider Polysticta stelleri wintering, moulting and staging along the coasts of the Varanger Peninsula, Norway. Steller’s Eiders were surveyed by monthly counts during winter and early spring 2016/2017 to investigate numbers and distribution throughout the winter. The highest number of wintering Steller’s Eiders was found in January, representing ~7 % of the European population. In February–April numbers were lower, but at a rather stable level. We found relatively little variation in distribution between months, although the birds were more evenly distributed along the coast later in winter. Mean flock size was significantly larger in January than in March and April. Feeding behaviour was exclusively observed in shallow water, generally at depths of up to 6 m. Areas of focus for an oil pollution emergency plan are pointed out and discussed. Keywords: Steller’s Eider, Polysticta stelleri, winter distribution, flock size, oil pollution INTRODUCTION greater accessibility, as well as better technology for carrying out such operations in extreme environments.

    Arctic Review on Law and Politics Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015, pp. 3Á10 Russian Fishing Activities off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway Abstract The rich fishery resources off the coast of Finnmark have historically attracted fishermen from other parts of Norway and from neighbouring countries. This article discusses the legal history of Russian fishing activities off the coast of Finnmark and covers the historical period from the 1700s until the termination of this fishery in the early 1900s. The article shows that Russian fishermen, like the Sa´mi from Finland*and unlike fishermen from other nations, were authorized to establish shacks and landing places. Both the agreements and legal disputes surrounding the fishery, which lasted until World War I, are discussed in the article. Keywords: fishery; Russia; legal history; rights to marine resources; Finnmark; The Lapp Codicil Received: August 2014; Accepted: September 2014; Published: March 2015 1. Introduction protecting fishery resources for the benefit of Finnmark’s own population* From far back in time, the rich fisheries off the coast of Finnmark have attracted fishermen from beyond the county’s own borders. Some of these fishermen, known in Norwegian as nordfarere (‘‘northern seafarers’’), came from further south along the Norwegian coast, specifically from the counties of Nordland and Trøndelag. Others came from further east, from Finland and Russia. In more recent times, fishermen started to arrive from even further afield, notably from England. When the English trawlers ventured into Varangerfjord in 1911, they triggered a dispute between Norway and England concerning the delimitation of the Norwegian fisheries zone that continued until 1951, when the matter was decided by the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
