In this episode, we sail to the picturesque and protected natural harbour of Klokkergården, nestled on the island of Rødøya just above the Arctic Circle. From here, we embark on an unforgettable climb up Rødøyløva, the 440-meter-high “Lion of Rødøya.” The climb, up hundreds of Sherpa steps, is exhausting but absolutely worth it as we reach the summit. The panoramic views over northern Norway’s islands, pristine beaches, and clear waters are breathtaking, and in the distance, we catch a glimpse of the majestic Lofoten Islands!
After descending back to Polaris, we treat ourselves to a mouthwatering dinner at the charming Klokkergården restaurant. Sadly, after just one night in this idyllic place, we must set sail for Bodø, racing against approaching bad weather.
Our journey doesn’t stop there—upon reaching Bodø, we experience the fascinating Saltstraumen, the world’s most powerful tidal current, where hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water rush through a narrow gap every six hours, creating an ever-changing force of nature.
After some well-deserved rest and boat maintenance, our Arctic adventure continues as we drop anchor in a secluded and serene spot, surrounded by the calls of breeding birds and the watchful eye of a magnificent white-tailed sea eagle.
