Sea and land

Sletvik Field Station is situated between the ocean, hilly forests and mountains, with a lagoone just a short walk from the main building. Sletvik, also called Slettvika, is far enough north for you to see a lot of the species associated with northern ecosystems, and far enough south to see what the south of Norway has to offer.

The unique ecosystem of plants and animals, both on land and water, provides the optimal environment for gathering a wide variety of samples.
