The Norwegian port of Bodø, chief town of Nordland county, lies in the Saltfjord, north of the Arctic Circle. From the beginning of June to the middle of July the sun never sets here. The attraction of the Midnight Sun draws many tourists during this one month stretch. The nearby Lofoten Islands are home to sea eagles, which is another notable interest for visitors to Bodø. The town received its municipal charter in 1816, but its development was slow until the second half of the 19th century, when the herring fisheries gave it a boost.
