  • Road warrior

    Driving across Håköya

  • Crater care

    The German battleship Tirpitz was finally sunk in November 1944 by Royal Air Force. The large craters from bombs that missed their targets form small lakes today.

  • Blasts from the past

    The final resting place of German battleship Tirpitz is surprisingly tranquil. It's hard to imagine the mayhem that took place here 60 years ago.

    Håköya

  • Absolute Norway

    Having a picnic at a fjord surrounded by mountains while listening to Bel Canto on phone speakers. It doesn't really get more Norway than that.

    Ersfjordbotn

  • The road to nothingness

    The single-lane bridge was not really made for meeting with another car.

    Bridge to Sommaröya

  • Coast guard

    This is just about as far west you can go without falling into the Atlantic ocean.

    Surveying the landscape at Hillesöya

  • Norwegian architecture

    Landslides are nasty business. This house was floating several hundred meters from its original location.

    Lyngseidet

  • Into the mist

    Lyngseidet

  • Into Narnia
