Tromsø has been the jumping-off point for several Arctic expeditions, including one of the most famous. The great explorer Roald Amundsen took off in a plane from Tromsø to meet his death in 1928 on an Arctic ice cap. Visitors today come here to hike in the summer or go dog-sledding during winters in this Klondike country. Read More
