The Arctic Cathedral, also known as Tromsdalen Church, is an iconic landmark located in Tromsø, Norway. Designed by the Norwegian architect Jan Inge Hovig, it was completed in 1965. The cathedral's striking architecture features a series of large, angular white panels that resemble icebergs or the peaks of nearby mountains, symbolizing the Arctic environment. Inside, the cathedral boasts a large stained-glass window that depicts the return of Christ, adding a vibrant and spiritual focal point to the interior.
