  • Ski Touring in the Narvik Region
    SKI TOURING IN THE NARVIK REGION TOP 5 © Mattias Fredriksson © Mattias Narvik is a town of 14 000 people situated in Nordland county in northern Norway, close to the Lofoten islands. It is also a region that serves as an excellent base for alpine ski touring and off-piste skiing. Here, you are surrounded by fjords, islands, deep valleys, pristine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and mountain plateaus. But, first and foremost, wild and rugged mountains in seemingly endless terrain. Imagine standing on one of those Arctic peaks admiring the view just before you cruise down on your skis to the fjord side. WHY SKI TOURING IN THE NARVIK REGION? • A great variety in mountain landscapes, from the fjords in coastal Norway to the high mountain plateaus in Swedish Lapland. • Close to 100 high quality ski touring peaks within a one- hour drive from Narvik city centre. • Large climate variations within short distances, which improves the chances of finding good snow and weather. • A ski touring season that stretches from the polar night with its northern lights, to the late spring with never- ending days under the midnight sun. • Ascents and descents up to 1700 metres in vertical distance. • Some of the best chute skiing in the world, including 1200-metre descents straight down to the fjord. • Possibilities to do train accessed ski touring. • A comprehensive system of huts that can be used for hut-to-hut ski touring or as base camps. • 5 alpine skiing resorts within a one-hour car drive or train ride • The most recognised heli-skiing enterprise in Scandinavia, offering access to over 200 summits.

    The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway ROGNVALD BOYD Boyd, R.: The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 63, pp. 39-54. Oslo 1983, ISSN 0029-196X. The Lillevik dyke complex occurs in an allochthonous unit and shows field relationships indicative of a transition from the mafic cumulate to the sheeted dyke zone in a segment of an ophiolite. Major and trace element chemistry confirm the MORB character of most of the diabases. Certain diabase, gabbro and trondhjemite dykes have REE patterns suggesting a later stage of ocean-island volcanism. The Lillevik complex and equivalent bodies along strike on the eastern limb of the Ofoten synform are a probable source for the mafic facies of the overlying Elvenes Conglomerate. Analogies with other areas suggest that the Lillevik complex was obducted during the Finnmarkian orogeny. R. Boyd, Norges geologiske undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway.

  • NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for Wreck-Divers Wrecks of Narvik
    NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for wreck-divers Wrecks of Narvik Text by Erling Skjold (history and diving) and Frank Bang (diving) Underwater photography by Frank Bang Ship photography by Erling Skjolds, NSA collection Translation by Michael Symes Dieter von Roeder The port of Narvik in north Norway was established around the export of iron-ore from Sweden. This was due to the very good harbour and its ice-free con- ditions. At the outbreak of World War II, Narvik was a strategically important harbour, and during the first few days of the war a very intense battle was fought out here between German, Norwegian and British naval forces. During this fighting several ships were sunk, both warships and civil merchant ships. Narvik harbour was transformed into a great ship ceme- tery, with wrecks sticking up out of the water every- where. Several of the ships were later salvaged, but many wrecks still remained. With its high density of wrecks, Narvik is an eldorado for wreck divers.

  • K Yanite-Grade Metamorphism in the Evenes and Bogen Groups, Ofoten
    Kyanite-grade metamorphism in the Evenes and Bogen Groups, Ofoten, North Norway MARK G. STELTENPOHL & JOHN M. BARTLEY Steltenpohl, M. G. & Bartley, J. M. : Kyanite-grade metamorphism in the Evenes and Bogen Groups, Ofoten, North Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 64, pp. 21-26. Oslo 1984. ISSN 0029-196X. Directly north of Ofotfjorden in northern Norway, pelitic schists within the Evenes and Bogen Groups contain the mineral assemblage garnet + biotite ± kyanite ± staurolite + white mica + quartz ± plagio­ clase. This assemblage implies metamorphic P-T minima of- 540"C and - 4. 8 kb. The rocks are thus at a higher grade than suggested by previous reports, which placed them in the greenschist facies. This indicates that several metamorphic allochthons in Ofoten, including rocks of the Narvik, Evenes, Bogen, and Niingen Groups, are all at kyanite grade, supporting recent interpretations which on structural grounds concluded that the metamorphic peak outlasted stacking of these allochthons. A proposed correlation of the Evenes Group with the Middle Ordovician-Lower Silurian Balsfjord Supergroup implies that this stacking and associated kyanite-grade metamorphism are post-early Silurian and are related to the Scandian phase of the Caledonian orogeny. M. G. Steltenpohl & J. M. Bartley, Department of Geology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514, USA. Our mapping, structural analysis, and petro­ ultramafic rocks of the Narvik Group, which are graphic studies in Ofoten have concentrated on presently at kyanite grade (Foslie 1941, 1949, the structural and metamorphic development of Gustavson 1966, 1972, Hodges 1982a, Tull et al. the Caledonian nappe stack.

  • Hovedrapport Ny Jernbane Fauske – Tromsø (Nord-Norgebanen) Oppdatert Kunnskapsgrunnlag
    Hovedrapport Ny jernbane Fauske – Tromsø (Nord-Norgebanen) Oppdatert kunnskapsgrunnlag Dokument nr.: 21 007 105 Dato: 02.12.2019 Sammendrag Sammendrag Bakgrunn for oppdraget Jernbanedirektoratet har fått i oppdrag fra Samferdselsdepartementet å utarbeide et oppdatert kostnadsanslag og en samfunnsøkonomisk analyse for en ny jernbanestrekning Fauske – Tromsø (Nord-Norgebanen). Analysen skal baseres på den traseen som ble vurdert i Jernbaneverkets rapport «Jernbanens rolle i nord» i 2011. En trinnvis utbygging skal også vurderes. Vi skal ikke utarbeide en konseptvalgutrening, men følge KVU-metodikken så langt vi ser det som hensiktsmessig. Kostnadsanslaget skal være på et utredningsnivå innenfor +/- 40 prosent usikkerhet. Det er en forventning om økt produksjon av fisk og turisme som ligger til grunn for å gjøre nye vurderinger. Harstad er sentral i fiskerinæringen. Vi har derfor valgt å også se på en sidearm fra Bjerkvik til Harstad. I tillegg har vi sett en økning i kostnadene ved å bygge tunnel. Traseen fra 2011 har en tunnelandel på 58 prosent. Vi har derfor også sett på en trase som har 45 prosent tunnelandel slik at vi kan se hvordan færre tunneler virker inn på kostnadsbildet. En forenklet behovsanalyse, blant annet basert på de tre innspillskonferansene, viser at: • Det er behov for et pålitelig transportsystem med bedre kapasitet og regularitet for person- og godstransport • Det er behov for et transportsystem med smidige overganger mellom ulike transportformer • Det er behov for å transportere gods til det internasjonale markedet raskt og effektivt • Det er behov for å styrke trafikksikkerheten Vi etablerer ikke målstruktur for denne utredningen. Det vil først komme i en eventuell KVU-fase.

  • Iceland, Norway & Faroes
    Port Handbook Chapter A - The Baltic Chapter B - United Kingdom & Ireland Chapter C - Atlantic Europe Chapter D - Iceland, Norway & Faroes Chapter E - Associated Members Copyright 2021 Cruise Europe Word of the chairman Matching cruise industry growth and cruise port capacities Cruise Europe and its more than 100 member ports between Gibraltar in the South, Kirkenes in the North and Lulea in the Baltic still has the potential for growth. Only 75% of the potential cruise ports along the Atlantic coast are members; also one has to include the potential of the cruise ports in Greenland and the area east of the North Cape. The tourist organisations of the ports, the regions, the countries can help as members to make Cruise Europe stronger in marketing the destination Northern Europe to the cruise lines. The aim for Cruise Europe is to match the ongoing growth of the cruise industry in offering better infrastructure in the member ports, which means more cruise terminals, or to point out the diversity of the many destinations and attractions in Northern Europe. Cruise Europe has to open a dialogue with the cruise lines with the intention to spread the growing number of cruise ships and the even bigger cruise passenger capacities over more ports, over more cruise areas, over more countries. The success of the Baltic is also possible in the areas of West Europe, of UK & Ireland and of Norway and Iceland. Cruise lines have to be convinced that all four cruise areas in Northern Europe have equal attractions and many Captain Michael McCarthy good ports to host the growing cruise fleet.
