ソルトダルの天然記念物・トップ5

When the Arctic Circle Center was built in 1990 to welcome visitors to the Saltfjellet mountain range in northern Norway, it was believed that the Arctic Circle ran directly through the center of the building. But because it is constantly moving, its actual location is now farther north.

Here the Arctic Circle is crossed.

The Arctic Circle Monument was erected in 1990 as part of the opening of the Arctic Circle Center on the E6 highway. It stands directly in front of the entrance to the center and bears the latitude 66*33' North, which indicates the course of the Arctic Circle.

There is a large parking lot in the Arctic Circle Center and travelers flock to the "must-see" spots with their cameras. There are also souvenirs, a multimedia show, food and a post office. The building stands alone on the bare plateau and is only populated by tourists in cars and buses. This Arctic Circle is only an imaginary line, as its exact location is constantly changing. The Arctic Circle is very important for the souvenir industry. There are often large information signs, and you can buy a certificate confirming that you have crossed it. Mail that is posted there receives a special stamp. So it doesn't matter that the Arctic Circle is constantly changing its location and the signs stay where they have been for several years.

Very precisely aligned. If you stand in the middle of the hall, pay attention to the floor and then look outside. They put a lot of thought into it. Otherwise you can buy various souvenirs here. You can also have your mail stamped with a special stamp.

Nice place on a high plateau. The handsome building stands out from the barren landscape. Good starting point for exploring tours. There is a large parking lot right by the building.

Just minutes from the center of the Arctic Circle, one can escape the crowds and find some solitude and tranquility. Sturdy shoes make sense, otherwise it is not a particular sporting challenge. Several small waterfalls and beautiful views reward the little effort.
