Seiland National Park, National park on Seiland island, Norway

The protected area spans 316 square kilometers across the island, featuring steep mountains that descend directly into the sea and two northern glaciers.

Archaeological findings from the Stone Age reveal continuous human habitation on Seiland island, with discoveries of ancient turf huts and settlement structures.

The national park serves as an important location for reindeer herding practices, maintaining traditional Sami activities in the arctic landscape.

Access to the park requires careful preparation due to the northern location and weather conditions, with entry points available from Alta and Hammerfest.

The park contains Seilandsjokelen and Nordmannsjokelen glaciers at 70 degrees north, making them the northernmost glaciers in continental Europe.
