Alta on the Norwegian Sea was the penultimate destination for our 10-day journey to the Top of the World in the Arctic Lapland.
I chose Alta for its status as the northernmost city in the world with 15,000 residents and the 25-mile seaside photo drive it offered along the Altafjord, the one Photo Stop I went there for and couldn’t miss.
The GPS routed us from Kautokeino through the breathtaking Alta River Valley, where we picnicked at a rest stop on the riverside before settling into our penthouse Airbnb apartment in the heart of the city.
We immediately hit the fjord for the first of three days in pursuit of Arctic light and form in the Midnight Sun.
