Virgin Islands

The most striking feature of the Vega Islands is the simple and traditional way of life of the local residents, which has remained unchanged for 1500 years, as well as their traditional ethnic crafts. The local residents rely on fishing and processing the unique local eiderdown in a relatively closed environment to make a living. The island has fishing villages, docks, warehouses, farms, and lighthouses, as well as traces left by humans who lived and survived here as early as the Stone Age. Since the 9th century, the Vega Islands have become an important production and supply center for local duck down and feathers. One-third of the island's residents rely on this as a source of income and have made significant contributions to the development of the down processing industry. Vega Islands Port

When you see the aurora for the first time, you will completely flip out. Chasing the northern lights is for sure one of the best activity during the winter months in the north

Haukland Beach

Just a scenic view to a wonderful Beach. It's not only a good place for surfing, you can also hike through this beautiful Landscape.
