In addition to the excellent replies below, note that Nordland is actually pretty far south, if your goal is to live above the polar circle - you might want to also cast your eyes to Tromsø: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troms%C3%B8
Has a bit more infrastructure and job opportunities, if that's something that is relevant to you - and plenty of "alpine" mountains in the surrounding area.
That said, the Lofoten area is famous for its spectacular beauty - many graphical artists and painters have lived moved there over the years because of the unique landscape and light.
Further north than Tromsø, things get a bit flat as you move up towards Finnmark - and more remote. And then there's of course Svalbard, if you want to live in an area that's more like northern parts of Alaska...
