Winter colours! Lofoten in its winter costume displays a palette of deep reds and blues until after the New Year when it changes to the clearest pastel colours you could imagine. The sun dips below the horizon creating colours the likes of which will not be seen at any other time of the year making this an extra special time. White sand and turquoise blue water. Small waves of turquoise blue water wash gently across the white sand while mountain peaks rise into the blue sky above. Typically the words arctic and beach are not usually mentioned together in the same sentence, however, on the Lofoten islands there are perhaps some of the most spectacular beaches you will ever see.
