“When I’m sixty-six, I’ll do what I want,” is a line from a song that was a hit in Norway a few years ago.

The fact that a growing number of them are buying motor homes and plotting out their own route for their holidays reflects this freedom-seeking trend

In 2006 they celebrate 100 years as a community on Norway's northernmost territory.
