Senja
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Senja is the second largest island in Norway (except the Svalbard Islands) and is located near the middle of the Troms county coastline. It is located close to the town Finnsnes, with road connection using the Gisund Bridge. Among other things, Senja houses the Ånderdalen National Park, several traditional fishing communities, and it is also the home of the world's largest troll, called Senja Trollet (The Troll of Senja).
The western coast of Senja, facing the open sea, is dominated by rugged mountains going straight from the sea, with some fishing villages (like Gryllefjord, Husøy) wherever there is some lowland. The eastern part of the island is dominated by forests, salmon rivers and agriculture.
