Last night, we made stops in Rørvik and Brønnøsund, Sandnessjøen and Nessa in the early hours. At approximately 07.40, we crossed the Arctic Circle, marked by a small globe. The weather was overcast, but presented a lovely landscape of cloud-topped mountains.

Following our passage across the Arctic Circle at 7.40 am this morning, we visited Ornes, a location of exceptional beauty.

Due to unfavorable weather conditions this morning, we performed the ice sacrifice to the Sea God, which proved worthwhile as the sun emerged and clear blue skies appeared.
