--- Quote ---Situated 220 kilometres (140 mi) inside the arctic circle, Narvik is one of the most northerly towns in the world

--- Quote ---There are highway connections from Narvik across the mountains eastwards to Abisko and Kiruna, Sweden (via European route E10). Ofotens Bilruter is based in Narvik.

--- Quote ---A present and historical key to land transportation to Narvik is the railroad from northern Sweden across the mountains to this port town. Goods like iron ore shipped via this railroad make Narvik an important seaport.

redskooky,
Look again at where Kiruna is. It is above the Arctic Circle and Narvik is a slightly further north. Teams should go to Kiruna first for Ep. 4 pit stop and then on to Narvik for Ep. 5 pit stop.

Thanks. I knew that. This was just what I copied and pasted over from Wikipedia. I was just trying to highlight possible links between Kiruna and Narvik. Obviously if there is a highway going, there would be a highway in the other direction
AmazingRace:
I have a feeling either Nat or Kat says the title, based on the previews, as they were eating a Norwegian dish.
Slowhatch:
Woden got it right; it looks like smalahove.
DrRox:
Interesting article there about the EU banning the use of adult sheep......but Norway is not a member of the EU.
