Mo i Rana, Administrative center in Nordland, Norway
Mo i Rana stands at the head of Ranfjorden, bordered by Saltfjellet mountains and positioned just south of the Arctic Circle at 26 meters elevation.
The Norwegian Parliament approved construction of an iron mill in 1946, transforming Mo i Rana from a small village into an industrial city by 1955.
The Nordland Theater and annual Havmanndagene festival in May present performances that reflect the regional traditions of Northern Norway.
The city connects to major transportation routes through European route E6, the Nordland Line railway, and a regional airport north of the center.
During July and August, residents and visitors experience 24 hours of continuous daylight due to the geographical location near the Arctic Circle.
