Gaustatoppen is the highest mountain in the county Telemark in Norway which lies in the municipality Tinn and Hjartdal.

The highest mountain in Lofoten is #Higravstinden (1,161 meters) in Austvågøy; the famous #Moskstraumen (Malstrøm) system of tidal eddies is located in western Lofoten, and is indeed the root of the term maelstrom. The #archipelago looks like a closed wall when seen from elevated points or when arriving from the sea, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) long, and 800–1,000 meters (2,600–3,300 feet) high.

The sea is rich with life, and the world's largest deep water coral reef, called the #RøstReef, located west of Røst. Lofoten has a high density of sea eagles and cormorants, and millions of other sea birds, among them the colorful puffin. Otters are common, and there are moose on the largest islands. Lofoten has the largest positive temperature anomaly in the world relative to latitude. #Røst and #Værøy are the most northerly locations in the world where average temperatures are above freezing all year.
