Lofoten: Discover natural miracles and climate research on the north sea!

The Lofoten, a picturesque archipelago on the coast of northern Norway, attract attention of many people with their huge rock formations and an almost surreal color palette. These impressive granite rocks, which are up to 1,200 meters high, are protecting against the rushing Atlantic. On clear days, the gray of the rocks, the cobalt blue of the sky and the green water harmonize into a spectacular backdrop, which is reinforced by the red fishing huts. But the Lofoten are not just an optical spectacle. The Vikings once attracted their maritime abundance, while the Hanseate merchants operated lively trade with the valuable stockfish products.

Currently, the importance of lofotes through climate change and its geostrategic location on the edge of the Arctic is becoming the focus of science. An upcoming picture lecture at the Volkshochschule Leverkusen (VHS) will deal in detail with these topics. In addition to the geographical aspects, economic geographic and geostrategic questions are also dealt with. The participation fee is six euros and can be paid at the box office.

insights into the lecture

The lecture provides information about the fascinating peculiarities of the Lofoten and illuminates the challenges that the region experiences through climate change. Scientists deal intensively with developments in this region and analyze how the ecosystem and the economy can change through changed climatic conditions. A prominent goal is to raise awareness of the importance of lofotes and their preservation.

For those who want to immerse themselves deeper into the matter, the experts from the VHS Leverkusen are available for further information. Fabian Daldrup can be contacted on 0214/406 4184 or by email at fabian.daldrupvhs-leverendende .

The Lofoten are of great importance due to their unique geographical location and nature destruction, which makes this lecture not only informative, but also crucial for everyone who is interested in the Nordic regions.
