Sørøya

Last afternoon walk around Havøysund, before the weather finally gets better.

Heavy fish farming equipment.

Walking to the east coast of Havøysund and looking for...

...the hidden cave, where Russian smugglers used to hide the fish.

Hundrets of redbreasted Merganser ducks, one can...

...hear them in the whole harbour.

Heading southwest.

Adjusting the sails from time to time due to the islands and fjords, which strengthen and weaken the wind due to their form.

While heading into Akkarfjord, we saw the fist northern ligths :-)

They apeared almost every evening...

...for over a week.

The small, but busy village of Akkarjord (aprox. 80 inhabitants).

After a hearty breakfast with local berries, we set off to explore this part of the island.

Beside the reindeers, ptarmigan and rabbits, there are a lot of (not so intelligent) sheeps. They jumped several times in front of the scooter...

There are even some farms on this remote place.

And pigs ready for the frying pan ;-)

Most of the old cars are rusting in one place, beeing slowly eaten away by the rust.

Calm camels, it's fun to watch them eating.

Akkarfjord from above the hills, where we have been collecting mushrooms and berries every day.

Heading to Tarhalse, the northernmost...

...point of Sørøya.

Hundreds of mushrooms beside the trail. Even the porcini mushrooms start pushing their way out of the earth.

Stoping on this lake and trying to catch some trout with the fly-fishing rod.

Various herds of reindeer also live in this corner of the island.

Kjøttvikvarden, a 12.5m high monument...

...built 1853.

Heading out to Tarhalse.

The whole day we met no other people.

They built a nice path to this peninsula.

There even is a well equiped...

...emergency hut.

View from Tharhlsen, 70°N.

View back to the monument.

Many fly amanitas, they mostly grow together with the delicious porcini mushrooms...

Following Daniela with the drone.

Nice sandy beaches on the westside of Akkarfjord.

Every day, several jellyfishes are washed up.

Afternoon walk along...

...the many beaches.

And with temperatures up to 20°C...

...it fells almost like on the coast of the mediterranean.

Scraps, beein eaten away by the salty air.
