Norway Narvik - Arctic Train

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

at the Jarvik train station, "The Arctic Train" departs, one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. When the train tracks were build, they were considered the 8th wonder of the world.
The railway line was originally build to transport iron ore from the Swedish iron mines in Kiruna, to the nearest ice free harbor.

Photography Tips

Any lens between 14mm and 50mm works fine. But be aware that the train is constantly moving and autofocus can hunt a bit.
The windows on the Arctic Train cannot be opened wide enough to stick the camera out of the window, so you have to bring the lens really close to the window to let water drops disappear.

Travel Information

Most importantly, take a seat at the left side, in direction of travel! There you can see the whole Beaty of the Arctic Train ride.
Just walk to the train station in Narvik, it's easy to find. Be there well in advance to get a good spot on the left side. Tickets can be bought online.
