11 km from Bod\u00f8 we find Saltstraumen. It is a very famous fjord, with a natural phenomenon that has some of the world's strongest tidal currents. A very strong current occurs when the tide pushes water either into or out of the fjord. Large eddies are created as a result of the movement of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n

A few anglers have been lucky. There is a rich underwater life here, as the tidal flow oxygenates the water a lot.
We stand and look at the water and fantasize about how much fun it would be to sit in a rubber ring and just race with the tide out to sea.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dramatic clouds loom in the distance and there will also be some rain. But not as much as the clouds immediately suggest. The roads wind beautifully through the landscape and we come to think of the French Alps. But it is Norway - think that we have two such beautiful neighboring countries. It's not that crazy here in Scandinavia.
Norway is not that wide where we are - maybe 50 km, so we are quickly in Sweden.
We enter the Padjelanta National Park, which still has mountains. The Norwegian - Swedish border goes down through the mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
