Vestvågøya · Lofoten
Latitude 68.26688° N 68° 16′ 1″ N
Longitude 13.57648° E 13° 34′ 35″ E
A bay that opens to the north-west, flanked by steep rock spurs and consistently powerful surf — one of the most celebrated surf spots in Arctic Norway. For photographers, the rocky outer sections reward exploration at any state of the tide, with the dramatic silhouette of Kleivheia defining the horizon to the south.
