Narvik to Skutvik, Norway

Narvik, one of the most northerly towns in the world, is located on the shores of the Narvik Fjord, in the Ofoten traditional region of North Norway, inside the arctic circle. This means you have to choose your time of year wisely, unless you have a heated, full body arctic suit, and a snowplough mounted on your motorbike. The history of Narvik as a settlement began in the Stone Age, and not very much is known about these people, but the Vikings lived in this area. The port of Narvik proved to be strategically valuable in the early years of World War II and the town became a focal point of the Norwegian campaign.
