road through the Barduelvsdal and Maalselvsdal to the Rostavand,

the Balsfjord and the Lyngenfjr rd (pp. 251-256).
*10. From Tromse to the Tromsdal with its Lapp encampment

Midnight Sun. The best season for a cruise to the North Cape
is between 20th June and 15th August, whether the main object
of the traveller be to witness the subdued glory of the midnight
sun, or to see the scenery to the best advantage. Down to the
middle of June the mountains are almost all covered with snow,
and the vegetation in the valleys is imperfectly developed, and
after the middle of August the nights become longer and colder;
but the intervening period forms one unbroken day, during which
the weather is often warm and genial. The midnight sun, which
is visible within the Arctic Circle (66°30’) only, is partially or
wholly seen from the sea-level within the following dates (those
for the North Cape, however, being reckoned for a point 1000 ft.
above the sea) : —
