Trollfjord is widely famous for its stunning scenery and sea eagles (they live anywhere in the wide region up here, but Trollfjord is definitely a good place to see them). We were there in the right time to see the wonderful landscape in its full beauty.
The same applies to the sea eagles. We got to see an amazing number of them. That was, to some degree, coincidence, but not an entirely natural one: while we were playing in Trollfjord, a smaller motor boat came in with tourists, probably from Svolvær, and started putting out pieces of fish. The sea eagles clearly knew the ritual, as they came down even before that boat had actually stopped! Dirty trick, possibly, but it works quite obviously well.
A few hours later we went alongside in Kabelvåg, the historical centre of the Lofoten islands. We went to have a good look around in weather that was getting increasingly less enjoyable. The forecast promises rather unpleasant conditions for the days to come.
