Norway's Arctic Circle Communities Norway’s Arctic Circle Communities The MS Polarlys made 32 cargo/passenger stops, day and night, during our 6‐day trip from Bergen, Norway to Kirkenes, Norway near the boarder of Russia. We saw many panoramic settings and communities that were vibrant and energetic. This photo program shares some of the stops and the sights of the following communities: Ørnes–Bodø–Finnsnes–Tromsø–Honningsvåg–Kjøllefjord–Vadsø–Kirkenes Ørnes lies on the northern coast of Helgeland as the area’s largest settlement with a population of over 1, 700 people. Documents place a tenant farm in Ørnes in early 1600s. Commerce can be traced to 1794 as it later became a trading center. It is a few degrees south of the Arctic Circle (approximately 21 miles) and 25 miles off the North coast of Iceland. Bodø is the capital of Nordland County with population of over 50,000 people. It is above the Arctic Circle. Bodø was founded in 1816, first as a trading center. By 1860, it became a fishing hub with the main catch—herring. Its name is believed to have come from a farm in the same area the town was formed. It is northernmost of both the Kystriksveien Coastal Route and west on the Arctic Highway. It is also the northern terminus of Norway’s rail system. Locals call it the ‘gateway to Norway’s true north.’ As you can see it is very modern and has fantastic sights to go with it. Finnsnes is a small town with a population of less than 5,000. Fish farming is a major business here. Finnsnes is also known for a summer festival that attracts many tourists. It is a major artery in both water and land transportation. Its name can be traced to the Middle Ages. It was formally established in 1838. Pictured is Gisund Bridge. It is a cantilever road bridge spanning 3,763 feet. At its height, the clearance is 135 feet. It was opened on June 23, 1972 and crosses the Gisundet strait. Tromsø is reported to be the place to be to see the Northern Lights. Well we were there when 19 hours of daylight and twilight for the remaining 5 hours was in‐play. It is a very modern city with nearly 80,000 people. Unfortunately, we did not get to see much of it, due to other tour commitments. Engineering feat observed: Tromsøysund Tunnel (Tromsøysundtunnelen) is an undersea highway consisting of two tubes, both over 2 miles longs with an 8.2% grade. It even has roundabouts. It was operational in 1994. Honnigsvåg is the northernmost city in Norway. Its a small community with less than 3,000 people. It is called a city, but it does not meet the criteria of having at least 5,000 inhabitants. It was exempted in 1996 by the National legislature. Its name is associated with a mountain and a bay. The Gulf Stream benefits this town also with a subarctic climate. Fisheries and tourism are key economic businesses. The 260‐acre community has a population density of nearly 2,500 people. Many tourists use Honnigsvåg as port of call to visit the famous North Cape. Kjøllefjord is a small town in Finnmark County, Norway that has less than 1,000 inhabitants. Since the 1500s, the settlement at the head of a fjord, has been a market place for the Sámi as well as others involved in fishing and other trades. The fjord provides an excellent shelter from the open sea, but its location and means of getting there has kept the population low. Vadsø is a community of over 6,000 people in Finnmark County. It has Finish roots since Finland is close to this northeastern Norway town. Hunting, fishing and hiking made Vadsø an occupation and sporting place. A lot of history and multi‐culturalism is noted here. Fishing since the 16th century has been and still is the main industry. Kirkenes is northern town in Finnmark County with a population of about 6,000. Kirkenes lies on a peninsula surrounded by ice‐ free ports that have access to Barents Sea. It is also surrounded by Finland and Russia. The Russian boarder is close to Kirkenes. Its history goes back to 1326 and the Treaty of Novgorod between Norway and Russia. That treaty lasted 500 years until 1826 specified in the St. Petersburg Convention between Russia and Sweden. The Convention set markers to be set along the borders, Norwegian yellow, Russian green and red striped.

  • Pharmacists Serving Under War Conditions in Northern Norway
    PHARMACISTS SERVING UNDER WAR CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN NORWAY Klevstrand, Rolf 2609 Lillehammer, Norway This is a tale of a few pharmacists in three small towns in the northernmost part of Europe during World War Two. The towns were partly destroyed by air raids. This is of course only a small part of the long tale of sufferings during the war. A map of the Northern part of Scandinavia will show the position of the area (Fig. 1). On the map the counties of Norway are marked with different colours, Finnmark, the northernmost in light blue. Fig. 1 Like the rest of Norway Finnmark was occupied by German forces in 1940. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, it became part of an important war zone. The next Fig 2 map (Fig. 2) shows the short distances from the towns Vardø, Vadsø, and Kirkenes to Russia. There were German garrisons in each of them, the largest one in Kirkenes which at times had ten times as many soldiers as the local population. “Festung Kirkenes” was an important supply centre for the forces at the front in northern Russia. This made it an important target for Russian bombers. The town had not less than 328 air raids during the war. Each of the towns had one pharmacy, but there was a shortage of trained pharmacists. In 1940 the government issued a decree concerning the duty to serve for medical personnel. In accordance with this, two recently graduated male pharmacists were ordered to work in the pharmacies of Kirkenes and Vadsø from the beginning of 1944.

  • The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc
    NEWS RELEASE ______________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc. OSLO, NORWAY, January 14, 2021 The Tschudi Group today announced that it has completed the sale of Sydvaranger Mining AS and its subsidiaries -Varanger, Norway, to Tacora Resources Inc -based iron ore mining and mineral processing company focused on high-grad iron ore commodities. Tacora recommenced operations after five years closure in June 2019 at the Scully Mine, a 6 million tonne per year iron ore concentrate producer, after its acquisition of the mine in 2017. Sydvaranger operated from 1910 to 1997, and then from 2009 to 2015 producing high grade iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of 68%, for pelletizing operations. The Tschudi Group, a Norwegian shipping and logistics company, has been involved with the Sydvaranger Mine since 2006. In 2016, the Tschudi Group re-acquired the Sydvaranger assets and has since focused its activities on completing a feasibility study and preparing ore concentrate has significant environmental and cost benefits for steel producers and pelletizing operations, including increased blast furnace productivity, reduced slag volumes, lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced and reduced energy requirements for pelletizing, amongst others. The recent Definitive Feasibility Study confirmed a potential for a 4 million tonne pear year iron ore concentrate production. welcome Tacora as the new owners of Sydvaranger. Since 2016, the Tschudi Group has sought to provide Sydvaranger with the financial and operational capabilities to enable a restart of the mining operations. By introducing Orion Mine Finance as a financial partner in 2018 and by now combining Sydvaranger with the operationally experienced Tacora team, we believe Sydvaranger is in an excellent position to succeed with a restart.

  • Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden Towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: a Review
    energies Review Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: A Review Robert Fischer * ID , Erik Elfgren and Andrea Toffolo Energy Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, SE-97187 Luleå, Sweden; [email protected] (E.E.); [email protected] (A.T.) * Correspondence: robert.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +46-920-49-1454 Received: 28 February 2018; Accepted: 23 March 2018; Published: 26 March 2018 Abstract: The lands in the northernmost corner of Europe present contradictory aspects in their social and economic development. Urban settlements are relatively few and small-sized, but rich natural resources (minerals, forests, rivers) attract energy-intensive industries. Energy demand is increasing as a result of new investments in mining and industries, while reliable energy supply is threatened by the planned phase out of Swedish nuclear power, the growth of intermittent power supplies and the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption, especially in the Finnish and Norwegian energy sectors. Given these challenges, this paper investigates the potentials of so far unexploited energy resources in the northern counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden by comparing and critically analyzing data from statistic databases, governmental reports, official websites, research projects and academic publications. The criteria for the technical and economic definition of potentials are discussed separately for each resource. It is concluded that, despite the factors that reduce the theoretical potentials, significant sustainable techno-economic potentials exist for most of the resources, providing important insights about the possible strategies to contribute to a positive socio-economic development in the considered regions.
