Sperm Whale, Physeter macrocephalous, Lofoten Islands
I’ve been to Norway several times but only once for mammal watching. It is a beautiful country but it can sometimes be hard to enjoy a place where you need a bank loan to buy a beer.
Dovrefjell National Park
August 1996 – Caribou are easily seen here as are reintroduced Muskox. Also saw a Mountain Hare. Lemmings are quite often seen too (though not by me).
Muskox, Ovibos moschatus, Dovrefjell
Lofoten Islands
August 1996 – whale watching around the Lofoten Islands (out of Andennes) is good for Sperm Whales, which we saw, along with a Minke Whale and a pod of Orcas (uncommon).
Killer Whales, Orcinus orca
