Møysalen National Park

Coastal alpine peaks rising from fjords on Hinnøya in Nordland, Norway

Peaks jut straight out of the ocean and fjords, with Møysalen the highest at 1,262 m. Unusually for a Norwegian national park, it reaches all the way down to sea level, taking in the Vestpollen fjord branch and undisturbed birch forest.
