Lofoten Islands : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lofoten
Lofoten ((:ˈluːfuːtən)) is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten is known for a distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude. ==Etymology== ''Lofoten'' (Norse ''Lófót'') was originally the old name of the island Vestvågøya. The first element is ''ló'' (i.e., "lynx") and the last element is derived from Norse ''fótr'' (i.e., "foot"), as the shape of the island must have been compared with a foot of a lynx. (The old name of the neighbouring island Flakstadøya was ''Vargfót'', "the foot of a wolf", from ''vargr'' "wolf". See also Ofoten.)
