Scenic Lakes and Wetlands
Senja's landscape is defined by the transition from dramatic coastal peaks to a quiet interior of freshwater ecosystems. This collection features Arctic lakes like Kapervatnet, which sits within the Kaperdalen valley, and extensive wetland areas like Sivertmyra and Heimervassmyra. These sites represent the island's diverse hydrology, ranging from deep mountain-fed basins to peat bogs and marshes that provide essential habitats for local birdlife and support traditional reindeer grazing routes.
