1. Read the text and answer the questions.

We arrived in the Lofoten Islands in Norway on a bright July evening. At this time of year, the sun
never goes down so it never gets dark because the islands are so far north. We sat for hours, watching the
sunlight shining on the mountains across the water.
We spent the next few days exploring the islands in brilliant sunshine. We travelled by car, going from
one island to another by bridge or tunnel. These bridges and tunnels have replaced the ferries between the
largest islands.
People on the islands have always made a living from fishing and farming. Fishing is still an essential
part of the economy but, although every culture is still important in some areas, the number of farms has
decreased in the past thirty years.
