Lyngenhalvøya

The peninsula lies between the Ullsfjorden in the west and the Lyngen in the east.

[1] It has an area of around 1,500 square kilometres (580 sq mi).

The peninsula is almost divided in the middle by the fjord arm Kjosen.

Large parts of the peninsula are covered by the Lyngsalpan landscape conservation area.

[2][3] The central parts of the peninsula consist of the Lyngen Alps, an alpine landscape with glaciers and high peaks along with narrow, rugged valleys.
