Lakselv

Lakselv is a small town in Finnmark at the very top of Norway in the municipality Porsanger.

Understand
The area is as far north as the northern coast of Alaska and most of Siberia. It is also north of most of the settlements on Greenland. Thanks to the Gulfstream the area is a green oasis in spite of its physical location on 70° north.

Connection from Rovaniemi and Helsinki, Finland is operated by Eskelisen Lapinlinjat.
