Welcome to The Green Arctic and Troms county

Troms is situated quite a distance north in the region we call The Green Arctic. Located between 68 and 70 degrees North and would have been tundra if it was not for the Gulf Stream giving it a mild climate

The Arctic Ocean town of Tromsø has become a research centre for the Arctic region. Calculations show that the l,440 hours of daylight from the midnight sun and the daylight hours from the remainder of the year, together with moonlight, starlight and the northern lights, is more than the light received at the Equator in a year.This exellent site gives you indepth information on the climate, culture, research, fishing, forestry and communication.
