Why Arctic Cathedral matters
The Arctic Cathedral is shaped like a series of tilted triangles, bright white against the dark mountains. It stands on the mainland side of the bridge, with a huge glass window on one end that glows at night. Inside, simple lines and light create a calm space. Concerts, including midnight sun and northern lights events, are held here regularly.
Talking points
- It was built in the 1960s.
