The National Geographic Explorer pulled into Smøla for a day full of exploration. Some of us went for a hike and to explore the town while others set off in a fishing boat to see if they could find any of the famous cod and pollock that are legendary in the area. While we were out exploring, the team of undersea specialists went for a dive to see what sort of wildlife lives below the waterline. Norway is certainly stunning in its topography, but often even more so beneath the water’s surface.

National Geographic Endurance
Tromsø
Today we had a wonderful time visiting Tromsø, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Arctic”, since several important polar expeditions departed from here. We visited interesting museums, tasted some local delicacies (including cod tongue and roe), and played with sled dog puppies. We couldn’t have asked for a better time!
