Tysfjord, the fjord of Hellemobotn and Rago are three sites in the county of Nordland. The combination of magnificent scenery, ancient cultural landscape and a living Lule Sami settlement beside Hellemofjorden is unique. The area consists of an extensive, unspoilt mountain massif with varied topography, ranging from the high peaks in the northwest to a rounded upland plateau landscape in the east. The Rago national park is contiguous with the Swedish Laponian Area and is dominated by a wild dramatic mountain landscape with deep ravines and great boulders.
