The scenery is characterized by peaks jutting out of the ocean and fjords, the highest point is the 1,262-metre (4,140 ft) tall Møysalen mountain.

The park thus also includes areas with undisturbed birch forest in addition to the mountains.

The steep mountains and rich seashores nearby with many seabirds, as well as populations of rodents, provide good hunting areas for several species of predatory birds including white tailed eagle, golden eagle, gyrfalcon, and peregrine falcon.

A number of other rare and endangered birds of prey breed in the park, including kestrels, merlins, and rough-legged buzzards.

Other common species are hares, red foxes, stoats and American mink.
