If you have any interest about World War II, I would definitely recommend coming here. Very interesting and unique to the area. Significance of the war effort and finding the enigma machine locally was crucial to the allies winning the war. Very interesting!

Magic Ice, in Svolvær – the capital of Lofoten, offers you the pleasure of browsing ice art and coastal culture while enjoying a variety of refreshments. Sculptures and installations made of ice, dramatically lit and presented together with sound, music and images, tell the story of nature, traditions and the life of the fisherman in this abundant island realm. Magic Ice has an atmosphere that has to be experienced from the inside! It is more than just an “ice bar”, it is a crystal clear reflection of a distinctive community built on the riches of the sea – in the heart of the landscape where it all came to be.

If you choose to visit here you must try the ice slide ! It’s great fun no matter what age you are. The rest of the ice sculptures are amazing particularly some of the panels that are mixed in amongst the free standing sculptures. It may not be the cheapest place to visit, but if you are on the Hurtigruten ship the entrance fee is discounted and you still get the free drink in an ice glass. My husband wasn’t keen on visiting it, in the first instance, but having been he considers it as probably the best thing we did on the trip. The staff are really friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have about the sculptures, special mention should go to Victor, who talked to us for ages.

The KaviarFactory is an international venue for contemporary art. Located in Henningsvær, in the middle of the archipelago of Lofoten, Norway, it takes advantage of its off-the-grid location and aims to offer experiences and confrontations that never previously has been available to such regions.
