Lofoten, a beauty in Norway

Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude.

Lofoten is located at the 67th and 68th degree parallels North of the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. It is well known for its exceptional natural beauty within Norway.

The Sognefjord (Norway)

The Sognefjord (Sognefjorden) is the second largest fjord in the world after Scoresby Sund on Greenland, and the largest in Norway. Situated in Sogn og Fjordane in Western Norway, its mouth is about 72km (45mi) north of Bergen, and it stretches 203km (126mi) inland to the town of Skjolden.

Cruiseships send smog over scenic Geiranger Fjord

Smog has begun settling over Norway's scenic Geiranger Fjord, which recently won a spot on the United Nations' "World Heritage" list. Emissions from the stream of larger and larger cruiseships sailing into the fjord are being blamed.

The quiet fjord tightly surrounded by high mountains can be especially vulnerable to air pollution, and smog has been forming of late like a grey-blue lid over the otherwise pristine area.
Results show that one of Norway's most popular tourist destinations, and one often featured in promotional materials, can have air quality that's on par with London or Glasgow.
Tourism officials are concerned over the consequences of the very tourism they've been promoting, and not just because of the potential environmental damage.
