Baltic Sea 2022

Bodø – Lofoten – Narvik

Narvik town street. The buildings were not decorative, but resilient. The population is 14,051, including 1200 students attending the Narvik campus of the University of Tromsø. It is the only rail-to-ship hub for the rail line coming from Kiruna, Europe´s largest iron and other minerals mine in neighbouring Sweden. This made Narvik a strategic target during WW2 for the allies, seeking to prevent German obtaining Swedish iron.
