nordland

Nordland is a county in Norway, bordering Troms and Nord-Trndelag. The county administration is in Bod. The island of Jan Mayen is also administrated from Nordland. Nordland extends about 500 km from Nord-Trndelag to Troms. It has a rugged coastline. It includes most of the Lofoten islands as well as the Vesterlen islands. An important activity is fishing. Nordland is well known for the fishing of codfish. But farming is also going on in the district, including stock raising of cattle and goats. Some mining and hydroelectric power are also done. The port of Narvik has a direct rail connection to the rich Kiruna-Gllivare iron-ore fields in Sweden. The chief pyrite deposits are near Mo and Sulitjelma, while iron ore is mined in Dunderlands Valley.
