The Japanese emperor's palace, New York City's United Nations headquarters, and the city hall of Oslo, Norway's national capital, are just the most famous of the many buildings constructed with marble from the quarries surrounding the central Norway community of Fauske.

The largest natural attractions visible from most Fauske hotels are the 1,907m mountain of Suliskongen and two huge glaciers named Sulitjelmaisen and Blamannsisen.

These two glaciers occupy approximately 14 per cent of the community's land mass, and part of Junkerdal National Park also lies within Fauske's boundaries.

The local tourist office can arrange underground tours of Svarthamar Cave, whose bat colony lies further north than nearly any other and whose size ranks among the largest of any cave in northern Europe.

The Ankerske marble quarry includes both a factory and a shop, while the community's museums are dedicated to highways and local culture.

Despite its northerly location in the Arctic Circle, average winter temperatures here rarely fall below 0°C.

Nearby lakes include Lamivatnet, Nedrevatnet and Langvatnet.
