The proposed flag is white-red-yellow in the usual Norwegian proportions. The colours are supposed to symbolise snow and ice, combined with the colours of the Norwegian coat of arms (red and yellow).

Status of the flag

Andersson [Andersson 92] [Andersson 94] informs us that the proposal dates from 1991 (and is meant to be a flag for Northern-Norway, including Svalbard). Another dubious flag, IMHO.

Geographic description

Northern Norway is made up of three counties, Nordland, Troms and Finnmark.
