  • 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
    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.

Innspill til planprogram – interkommunal kystsoneplan for Evenes, Narvik, Ballangen, Tysfjord og Hamarøy Viser til høring av planprogram for interkommunal kystsoneplan for Evenes, Narvik, Ballangen, Tysfjord og Hamarøy. Kommunene har startet en interkommunal planprosess for å utarbeide en kystsoneplan for felles kystområder og fjordsystem. Bakgrunnen for planarbeidet er et ønske om en forutsigbar og bærekraftig forvaltning av sjøarealene. Arbeidet er organisert etter plan- og bygningsloven kapittel 9 interkommunalt plansamarbeid og det er opprettet et eget styre med en politisk valgt representant fra hver kommune. Dette styret har mottatt delegert myndighet fra kommunestyrene/ Bystyret til å varsle oppstart, fastsette planprogram og legge planforslag ut på høring. Endelig planprogram skal fastsettes i september 2019, og endelig vedtak av plan vil være september 2020. Planprosessen bygger på FNs bærekraftsmål og planprogrammet skisserer tre fokusområder for det videre arbeidet med planarbeidet.

  • 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.

  • Project Description
    Project Description Without Them I Am Lost: Storytelling as Survival Project Summary In 1944, the German army displaced 75,000 Northern Norwegians. Today, the remaining survivors who remember that time are dying before their stories can be told. We will collect and archive these stories of survival from Troms and Finnmark and Nordland Counties to create an intimate, feature-length documentary film. Logline Sharing memories is an act of survival. Without Them I Am Lost braids three layers of inquiry: oral histories of WWII in the northernmost part of Norway, the influence of landscape on the imagination, and the materiality of remembrance. Project Objectives We will create a feature length documentary to record and transmit Northern Norway’s oral histories of survival from the WWII era. Our objectives are (1) to give voice to underrepresented stories from Norway’s northernmost regions; (2) translate the stories for Norwegian, U.S., and other English-speaking audiences; and (3) foster intergenerational dialogue and exchange among and between Norway’s northern and southern regions, specifically those in Troms and Finnmark and Nordland Counties, in addition to Norwegian-American communities in the United States. Artistic Approach Without Them I Am Lost will juxtapose the sweeping landscapes of Northern Norway against images and artifacts that hold memories for our subjects. Alongside traditional interview framing techniques, we will film the interior locations of our subjects’ homes using macro shots of objects and gestures that will pull viewers into a new, intimate relationship with the material objects and people’s connections with them. The work of Dutch still-life vanitas painters and Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi serve as visual references in our approach for capturing objects and the human experience of them.
