by Northern Norway
From the world’s strongest tidal current at Saltstraumen to the city of Bodø, Northern Norway is especially bewitching during the winter’s northern lights (aurora borealis), which may keep you up late into the cold night. Nothing feels as warm as a hearty lunch of reindeer stew outside on benches covered in reindeer skins after hiking the peaks and valleys of the Svartisen Glacier—actually a 143-square-mile (370-square-kilometer) multiple glacier system—renowned for its deep blue ice and relatively easy accessibility.
