- a contrast of craggy peaks, white beaches & emerald green sea. The tidal currents between the islands are at the base of Lofoten`s important fishing industry & its rich cultural traditions. Along the shores are many fishing hamlets with their characteristic rorbuer (fishermen’s cabins). Every year the wonders of nature & the living coastal culture attract thousands of visitors, filling the brief weeks of summer with life & sound
- & the midnight sun. There are many opportunities for activities at sea & in the mountains, but the Lofoten Islands are also a place of peace & quiet. Winter is the best time for Lofoten fishery, for the skrei (winter cod) in particular, which still means so much for the local settlements. Getting around the islands by car or cycle is easy. From Bodø & Moskenes there are boats to the island communities of Værøy & Røst, the last settlements before the open sea. The rocks south of Røst are the nesting sites for millions of seabirds. Whales, seals & killer whales are also to be seen in the area, & organised boat trips give you the chance to sea birds & sea animals at close range. Several descriptions & illustrations are included in the map to deliver a good visual representation of the trip. The set

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
