Barsfjord and Ice Fishing in Arctic Norway

Barsfjord is located in Troms County in the Norwegian Arctic, now part of Tromsø and Finnmark counties. The fjord is 57 kilometers long, running from Nordsjosbotten in the southeast to Tromsø in the northwest, and merging into the Tromsø Strait, which is 2 to 7 kilometers wide and flows in a north-south direction. Storstanes, another major village in the fjord, is located on the southwest coast of the fjord. After entering winter, the sea surface in this area will freeze. As time goes by and snow falls, the ice layer becomes thicker and thicker, and is eventually covered by ice and snow. The residents nearby never have to go to the supermarket to eat fish. They just make a hole in the ice and then fish themselves. I saw that all they pulled up were cod, and they processed them immediately. They didn't want the small fish and let us take them as we pleased. Ice fishing is actually a paid activity in Arctic tourism. Of course, these activities mainly occur in places with more tourists. For example, if you walk on small paths in winter like where I am, you can see ice fishing at any time. Of course, even if you want to experience it, it is free. Although it is a small road and it is winter, the speed of cars here is not slow. For example, even the speed limit at the bends in the photo is 60, and all vehicles are not equipped with anti-skid chains. In the dozens of days of self-driving in the Arctic region, I have not seen a single car accident. #OverseasTravel #Norway #NorwayTravel #NorwayTourism #I'm so attached to Norway #ArcticJourney #ArcticCircle #Fishing #Ice and Snow World #Ice and Snow Fantasy Wonders #norway #arctic
