'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Hamnøy 📍 is a tiny fishing village on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten archipelago, famed for its iconic red rorbuer cabins set against a backdrop of jagged peaks and icy fjords. In winter, snow blankets the rooftops and mountains, while the Arctic light, soft at midday, golden at sunrise, or deep blue in the polar night, casts a magical glow over the scene. Easily reached via a photogenic bridge on the E10 road, Hamnøy offers one of the most celebrated views in Norway.


'...Hamnøy’s life has always revolved around fishing, particularly during the Lofotfisket cod season. Old fishermen tell of a legendary night when the northern lights danced so brightly over the fjord that they lit up the water, allowing crews to spot shoals of cod without lanterns. The catch that night was said to be so abundant that the drying racks overflowed, and for years afterward, locals referred to it simply as “the night the sky helped us fish.”...'
