    "Despite their location, the Lofoten Islands, tucked inside the Arctic Circle in Norway, rarely dip to violently freezing or typical Arctic weather. Due to a convergence of the Gulf Stream with two underwater currents, the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current, the weather in Lofoten remains anomalously warm. Two cities in Lofoten, Røst and Værøy, have average temperatures above freezing for the entire year."
