Top contributor haussmannvisuals created this stunning aerial tour of Norway's Lofoten Islands during the glorious summer months. The Lofotens are a chain of islands which lie off the coast of northern Norway, just within the Arctic Circle. For centuries, the islands were known for their cod fisheries, as giant schools of the fish come south from the Barents Sea to spawn off their shores. In more recent years, they have emerged as one of the up-and-coming travel destinations of Scandinavia. This video was a DVOW finalist in September, 2019.

The Lofoten Islands in northern Norway offer a stunning winter landscape, even though the winter temperatures are surprisingly mild for a location above the Arctic Circle.  Top contributor BashirAbuShakra used a drone to create an epic aerial video of this stunning region in the depths of winter.  You will be treated to bird's eye views of fjords, snow covered mountains, floating icebergs, and much more.   The islands are part of Nordland, one of the counties which makes up the region of Northern Norway.  

Norway is one of the most spectacular places in the world to capture by drone, with its far northern location, wide open spaces, and (relatively) friendly drone rules. Drone Video Awards nominee Ryan Shirley spent several days exploring the country’s Arctic Circle region, capturing the famous Henningsvaer Station, the Northern Lights, and the countless fjords, mountains, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that surround the Lofoten Islands. This video was a DVOW nominee in July, 2019.

The Lofoten Islands are a beautiful, yet dangerous place in winter. Becoming a more popular, more heavily traveled area of the world, tourism rates are starting to grow even in the cold season. With its beautiful Northern Lights, purple skies, and snow-covered, idyllic towns it is easy to see why. What you don’t see are the plethora of days below zero degrees with snow and ice storms. Pilot Fujiabra Films experienced it all on his recent trip to Northern Norway, sharing the experience in this video.

Contributor Brent de Bleser put together this spectacular look at Norway's Lofoten Islands, showing not only the beauty but the range of recreational activities available in this archipelago in the country's Nordland region.  The drone video contains magnificent bird's eye views of the areas mountains, hiking trails, camping areas, and small fishing villages, notably the iconic Henningsvaer and its famous football field, aerial views of which began to capture the world's attention a few years ago.  

AirVuz contributor eCKsplorer used a DJI Mavic Air 2 drone to bring us this spectacular aerial look at Henningsvaer, a small village in the heart of Norway's Lofoten Islands.  The tiny town is built on several small islands of the archipelago, which lies in the country's Nordland region.  Henningsvaer is best known for the football (soccer) field which sits in the middle of the town and is featured prominently in the video; this field was used to film a popular promotional video which brought worldwide attention to the village.


The fishing village of Reine, Norway is located on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten Islands archipelago in the northern part of the country. Lying above the Arctic Circle, the tiny town, home to only 314 people, often sees fierce winds. That’s exactly what first person view (FPV) pilot Fincky found when he traveled there with friends to grab some of the incredible views. Cold and windy as it was, it was certainly worth it as you’ll see in this beautiful, cinematic FPV video which made the FPV Pilots to Watch list in April, 2019.

Top content creator and drone pilot PilotViking is a phenomenon on Instagram - he has nearly 200,000 followers, among the most of any drone-related account.  In this video, the winner of the second Annual Drone Video Award in the Nature category managed to aerially film himself playing guitar in one of th most beautiful spots of Norway.  It was shot atop Reinebringen, a mountain in the Lofoten Islands.  The Lofotens is an archipelago that lies off the coast of Northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle.  

Without doubt, Norway is home to some of the world's most spectacular scenery.  It's ironic then that one of the most iconic sights of this Scandinavian country is a (man-made) football field.  It's located on a tiny island which is part of Henningsvær, a fishing village in the Lofoten Islands off the country's northern coast.  The entire village only covers 74 acres.  In this drone video by contributor tsmedegard you can check out this amazing field, which appeared in a video by the UEFA football association.

"Surfing" and "Norway" are terms that one doesn't often hear together.  That's why you have to check out this drone video of a surfing session - in northern Norway.  It's a spot called Ustind, and it's on the western shore of Vestvågøy, one of the main islands of the Lofoten archipelago.  While the islands lie above the Arctic Circle, they are something of an oddity from a climate standpoint - daytime highs are typically above freezing even in the depths of winter.  That being said, wetsuits are definitely a must here! 

Surprisingly to some, the Lofoten Islands of Norway are home to some very well known beaches despite being located mostly above the Arctic Circle.  While the waters here are too cold for swimming, the sand beaches are a perfect place to spend a summer day.  In this drone video, top contributor PilotViking gives us an aerial view of Haukland Beach.  It's located on the western shore of  Vestvågøy, one of the larger islands, about 2/3 of the way out to the end of the chain from the mainland.  

To pcontributor Kirb82 used a DJI Mavic Pro to aerially record a trip to Norway's Lofoten Islands, an archipelago which extends from the northern mainland of the country into the North Atlantic Ocean.  Among the highlights of the video is an epic shot taken from the Svolværgeita pinnacle at around the 1:00 mark.  The giant rock is located on the slope of Mt. Fløyfjellet and overlooks the town of Svolvær on the island of Austvågøy.  The island lies about midway down the length of the chain.  

Reinebringen is one of the most popular hikes on the Lofoten islands of Norway. With a peak altitude of only 448 meters above sea level (around 1.5k ft), it's far from one of the highest peaks in the Lofotens, yet the iconic view from the summit and the easy access from the town of Reine have helped it soar in popularity. Pilot DroningThomas visited the iconic area during the summer months and captured this spectacular drone video showcasing the rocky edges, green foliage, and baby blue waters that surround the mountains. 

Experience the beauty of Norway's famous Lofoten Islands from an entirely new perspective - from the camera of a first person view (FPV) racing drone. Top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot PimpmyKwad put together this masterpiece, which was filmed near the town of Svolvær.  It's on the island of Austvågøy, the northeasternmost of the main islands in the archipelago.  The beauty shows off the spectacular natural beauty of the area through the lens of some highly cinematic long-range FPV flight.  

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot Ollie FPV brings us this unique FPV view of the famous Henningsvaer Fotballbanen (football field) in Henningsvaer, a small village in the heart of Norway's Lofoten Islands.  The field is built on one of the tiny islands comprising the town, which lies north of the Arctic Circle in Nordland County.  The location came to prominence when it was used by a major European football organization for a popular promotional video; it's since become one of Norway's most-photographed spots.    

Norway's Lofoten Islands offer some of the best hiking spots in Europe, and one of the most famous is the hike to the peak of Reinebringen.  In this drone video by AirVuz contributor DroningThomas, you'll get some great aerial views of a hike to the top of the mountainm which is located on the island of Moskenesøya, one of the southernmost of the islands in the chain.  With a peak elevation of around 450 meters above sea level (just under 1.5k ft.), the hike offers incredible views of the village of Reine below.  

The Austnesfjorden is a fjord in Norway's Lofoten Islands, an archipelago which lies off its northern coast.  The fjord runs for a length of about 13 km (about 8 mi.), roughly bisecting the island of Austvågøy.  The southern end of the Austnesfjorden joins the Vestfjorden, a "sea fjord" which runs for about 155 km (around 90 mi.).  You can check out the stunning Austnesfjorden in this beautiful drone video by AirVuz contributor DroningThomas.  The video features footage of the fjord as well as surrounding sights such as Sildponnes Church.

Brand-new AirVuz contributor photography_with_altitude used a DJI Mavic Mini drone to create this stunning aerial tour of Norway's Lofoten Islands.  The video features spectacular top-down shots of the rugged landscapes of the archipelago, which lies north of the Arctic Circle in Nordland County.  You'll also be treated to some epic close-up shots of the mountains which cover the islands, as well as some of the Lofotens' iconic fishing villages; some of the highlights include "reveal" shots as the drone descends through the light clouds.  

Experience Norway's spectacular Lofoten Islands as never before in this spectacular first person view (FPV) video by top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot ELEVATION FILMS.  The Lofotens are a chain of islands off of the coast of the northern part of Norway.  They are famous for their mountainous landscapes, picturesque bays, and iconic looking fishing villages.  Not surprisingly, they have also become something of a magnet for talented FPV pilots around the world.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in November, 2021.  

For an example of how social media can unlock the visual potential of a travel destination, look no further than the town of Henningsvær in Norway's Lofoten Islands.  The small village is spread out over several islands, but what caught the world's attention a few years ago was the island with the football field.  Later used to film a viral video produced a European soccer association, it's become an international celebrity thanks to its appearance from above; witness this drone video by NGreyTravels.

Check out this beautiful drone video from Norway's Lofoten Islands, compliments of top AirVuz contributor DroningThomas.  The video was filmed around the beaches of Haversand, on the island of Store Molla.  Store Molla is a mid-sized island which lies just to the south of the larger islands of  Austvågøya and Hinnøya, roughly in the middle of the chain.  While the island has a population of fewer than two dozen full-time residents, it's easily accessible from the town of Svolvaer on Austvågøya.  

Top contributor ClearSky returns to AirVuz after a three year hiatus with this fantastic drone video from Norway's Lofoten Islands.  Starting at about the 1:50 mark, there's a great shot of the town of Svolvær, one of the larger in the region, which lies on the island of Austvågøy.  Other featured locations include the fishing village of Reine, on the island of Moskenesøya near the southern end of the archipelago; and the village of Nusfjord, on the island of Flakstadøya, just northeast of Moskenesøya.  

PimpmyKwad got VERY creative to make this drone video from Norway's Lofoten Islands, which earned him a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in October, 2019.  He used both an aerial cinematography and a first person view (FPV) racing drone to create this amazing aerial portrait of Nufsjord, a fishing village in the municipality of Flakstad.  Using both perspectives, the video beautifully captures the mountainous terrain here that's filled with beautiful greens and yellows from the trees, smoke covered peaks, and gorgeous sunset hues.

Top contributor sfdrones captured the magic of Norway's Lofoten Islands in this outstanding drone video compilation.  Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro drone, the video features some of the epic scenery which has made this archipelago a magnet for drone pilots around the world.  Its glass-smooth waters make for a sort of land of mirrors where the islands' mountains and iconic seaside fishing villages can be seen as stunningly beautiful mirror-like reflections.  The islands are located above the Arctic Circle, in Nordland County.

AirVuz contributor eCKsplorer used a DJI Mavic Air 2 drone to create this stunning aerial tour of the picturesque village of Reine in Norway's Lofoten Islands.  Reine is situated built on a peninsula and several tiny islets of the larger island of Moskenesøya, one of the southern Lofoten Islands, which lie within the Arctic Circle.  The town covers barely a tenth of a square mi. (about .3 square km) and has a permanent population of a bit over 300.  It's widely considered one of Norway's most beautiful fishing villages.  

The fishing village of Henningsvaer sits on a cluster of small islands just south of the larger island of Austvågøy, one of the northernmost of the Lofoten Islands.  This short but very well-made drone video by tsmedegard begins with a shot over the glass-smooth waters of the town's harbor.  Then, the drone pops up to reveal the Henningsvaer Fotballbanen (football field), which has become famous in recent years in part due to its appearance in a widely-seen football league commercial.  

Get a new perspective on Norway's famous Lofoten Islands in this fantastic first person view (FPV) video by contributor PimpmyKwad.  Located above the Arctic Circle but with a surprisingly mild climate, the Norwegian islands are a droners paradise.  Featured spots in the video include Lake Sildpolltjonna and waterfalls in the small town of Laupstad, the fishing village of Nusfjord, Lake Storvatnet, the towns of Napp and Leknes, and the scenic destination Myrland. This was an FPV Pilots to Watch video in December of 2019. 

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Hashtaggu brings us this excellent travel  video from the Lofoten Islands, a Norwegian archipelago which lies within the Arctic Circle.  Created with drone and ground camera footage, the journey covered in the video begins at Svolvær, a town on Austvågøy on of the northernmost of the islands, which extend southwest from the mainland.  The trip ends at the village of Å, which lies on Moskenesøya, the southernmost (and most distant from the mainland) major member of the archipelago.
