Troms
Troms is a county in Norway, bordering Finnmark and Nordland. In 2002 there were 151,673 inhabitants, which is 3.3% of the total population in Norway. Its area is 25,848 km². The county administration is in Tromsø.
Troms includes a lot of islands, like Senja, Kvaløy, Ringvassøy and Arnøy. It also includes parts of the island Hinnøya. It has a very rugged and indented coastline facing the Norwegian Sea. Of the coastline's many fjords, the largest is Lyngenfjorden.
The district is mainly mountainous; much of its interior supports only livestock raising (sheep and goats). Along the coast and on the islands, fishing is dominant. The city of Tromsø, in the north central part, is the county seat and an Arctic seaport. Because many of the roads are poorly developed, a lot of communication is done by boating and air services.
