Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic, is a North Sea boomtownboth a trade and a financial center. The surrounding snow-topped mountain peaks reach 1,800m (5,904 ft.), and mountain plateaus have good fishing lakes and birch forests. Tromsø has been the jumping-off point for several Arctic expeditions, including one of the most famous.

Visitors today come here to hike in the summer or go dog-sledding during winters in this Klondike country.
