Tromso, Norway

Tromsø is a small city with a population of about 72,000, and is the third largest urban area north of the Arctic

Circle.  We visited the Polar Museum which presents Tromsø's past as a center for Arctic hunting and starting

point for Arctic expeditions, and The Arctic Cathedral, a modern church built in 1965.
