Norway will continue to protect the Nordland county area of the Lofoten and Vesterlen islands from oil and gas exploration and production.
Norway will keep the Nordland county area of the stunning Lofoten and Vesterålen islands off limits for oil and gas exploration and production, Energy Minister Terje Aasland said on Wednesday.
