”4000 lakes are dotted throughout a vast and beautiful landscape a landscape of woods and mountain plateau.

In many places, one lake runs almost into another, with only a stream between them. The countryside is virtually deserted, so you are alone with the rich birdlife and the

The lakes of Porsangerreindeer grazing in their summer pastures. Most of the lakes in this part of the country, however, contain freshwater trout or Arctic char. In some lakes in the southern-most part of Porsanger you’ll also find species more common in eastern regions of Nor-way, such as common whitefish, grayling and pike.”
