In the areas to the west and the north of the Lofoten islands the midnight sun is visible from 27 May till 17 July. At Værøy and Røst this period is a little shorter.
Birds
Lofoten has an abundant selection of birds. We meet birds from the forest, moors, highlands, sea and ocean, and many species which migrate past Lofoten every spring and autumn. The white-tailed eagle flourishes in Lofoten, and the area has one of the world´s largest stocks. Most sea bird species are found in this region: razorbill, guillemot, cormorant, kittiwake and the characteristic puffin, just to mention a few. Especially the farthest islands of Værøy and Røst are renowned for their bird colonies and bird rocks. Hundreds of thousands of puffins and other sea birds can be heard and seen here, joined in a colourful orchestra.

Winter Events in Lofoten Islands
Edit ThisSo what is it like on Lofoten during the winter? Darkness and stormy weather? Yes, that too, something which in itself can be an exhilarating experience – also for those who are not used to such conditions. From October, the Northern lights may be frequently seen dancing above the snow-capped mountain peaks.
The dark season is limited to a few weeks before and after Christmas. The sun disappears for about 4 weeks, but as early as the first week in January, it makes a welcome return and the twilight of the afternoon sheds impressive, almost magical light over the more..
