10. Northern Lights The Northern Lights look somewhat similar to a sunset in the sky at night, but appear occasionally in arcs or spirals usually following the earth's magnetic field. They fairly often look like moving curtains of light, high in the sky. They are most often light green in color but often have a hint of pink. 9. Medieval Trondheim Trondheim is the oldest of Norway's major cities, and its old heritage can still be traced in and around the city centre. The marvellous Nidaros Cathedral, the second largest church of Northern Europe, towers over the city centre, which is roughly the area inside the meandering Nidelva. 8. Disko Bay, Greenland Disko Bay is a bay on the western coast of Greenland. To the south the coastline is complicated with multiple waterways of skerries and small islands in the Aasiaat archipelago. Qasigiannguit and Ilimanaq are the main settlements in the southeastern inlet, just south of the outflow of Ilulissat Icefjord. 7. Åland Islands Åland is an autonomous area in the Baltic Sea, consisting of one main island and a surrounding archipelago. While legally a part of Finland, in practice the islands run their own affairs and are rather different from the mainland. The archipelago consists of around 80 inhabited islands plus around 6000 uninhabited islands, islets and rocks. 6. Bergen Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and the most popular gateway to the fjords of West Norway. The city is renowned for its beautiful nature and offers excellent hiking opportunities in its immediate surroundings. Having fostered many of Norway's greatest bands and artists, the city is also famous for its cultural life and underground/indie music scene. 5. Turku Turku is the third largest city in Finland. Some of the main attractions of Turku are its history and the great natural beauty of the neighboring archipelago. Turku is at its best during the summertime, and hosts a great number of festivals, including rock festivals, chamber music festivals and a fair. 4. Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo Frogner Park contains, in its present centre, the world famous Vigeland installation, a permanent sculpture installation created by Gustav Vigeland between the 1920s and 1943. The sculpture park consists of sculptures as well as larger structures such as bridges and fountains. 3. Stockholm Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden, with nearly 2 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways, and another 30% is made up of green areas. Air and water are said to be the freshest of any European capital. 2. Sauna The sauna is perhaps Finland's most significant contribution to the world. The sauna is essentially a room heated to 70--120°C; according to an oft-quoted statistic this nation of 5 million has no less than 2 million saunas, in apartments, offices, summer cottages and even Parliament. 1. Fjords A fjord is a long, narrow, deep bay, usually surrounded by equally steep mountainous terrain. In West Norway, the largest can extend 200 km inland, 1300 m deep. The great fjords of western Norway cuts deep into the mainland and are particularly dramatic at the intersection with the high central mountains from Hardangervidda via Jotunheimen to the "alps" around Åndalsnes.
