The shape of the white triangular snow mountain of the Arctic Cathedral resembles a towering iceberg in the clouds. 😇

⏳Playtime: The further north you go, the shorter the daylight hours. In the winter, Northern Europe is very leisurely, there is no need to rush, you can have breakfast in the hotel while waiting for the day to break. Around 11 o'clock, the day slowly begins to brighten up a bit, but don't expect it to be very bright, it's still gloomy. 🌟Highlight features: The Arctic Cathedral is a landmark building in Tromsø, built in 1965. The entire cathedral is 40 meters high and has a white triangular snow mountain shape, resembling an iceberg soaring into the clouds. From a side view, it resembles the famous Sydney Opera House, so it is often called the "Norwegian Opera House" by Norwegians, but personally I think it looks more like neatly arranged dominoes. ✅Must experience: The entire wall on the south side of the church is made of complete rolled glass and is the largest colored glass window in Northern Europe. A ticket of 50 nok/person is required to enter the church. The natural light from the sloping skylights and the pressed glass on the entire south wall, combined with the luxurious chandelier light, creates a warm, bright, and dignified atmosphere throughout the interior space. The inspiration for this unique architectural structure comes from the characteristic landscape of northern Norway, and the glass-inlaid bricks are a major feature of the church. The organ in the church is composed of three keyboards and pedals, 42 stops, and 2940 pipes. Its huge and modern design is admirable.
