The small fishing community of Oksfjord serves as the administrative centre of Loppa Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. Resting at the mouth of the Oksfjorden on the mainland, it serves as a great base from which to explore the incredibly scenic surrounding region.

This picturesque town features a collection of colourful houses set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. Visitor can learn about the ancient Komsa culture, a Mesolithic culture of hunter-gatherers that existed 12,000 years ago.

Don’t miss a visit to Norway’s fifth largest glacier, Oksfjordjokulen, which calves directly into the sea, a uniquely arctic phenomenon.
