FBLofoten - The rugged archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic Ocean
Lofoten is the rugged archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic Ocean. Whoever arrives here is really at the end. Moskenes is the end of the line, and anyone who wants to go further needs a boat or a plane. The only way to get to the open sea is via the Maelstrom, which is quite dangerous. On the outermost headland, there are only a few ruins left. The last inhabitants are long gone, a supply was hardly possible. But fishermen are on the way, mainly to catch cod. And there is the coastal administration, which takes care of broken sea marks and lighthouses.
A visit to one of the luxurious ships of the Hurtig Line is not to be missed. They shuttle off rough coasts on an eleven-day trip between the Russian border and southern Norway. A floating workplace for a wide variety of professions. The island of Andøya is not served by the Hurtiglinie. It lies too far out in the Atlantic. One of the most important observatories in Europe is located here. A young woman, Sandra Blindheim, is the boss. She is responsible for the large laser that delivers important information to scientists around the world. On clear winter nights, there is a wonderful panoramic view of the aurora borealis.
A corner store in the sparsely populated north - that also exists. Anne's store offers a core range of what you need to survive and is also a social meeting place. Everyone knows everyone here. The Lofoten fishermen's season begins when temperatures reliably stay below zero. Now the fishermen earn most of their annual income. Everywhere you now see stockfish on drying racks. The work is hard, but hardly anyone can imagine anything else. A job and a way of life. Quite simple...
