The Friends of the Storfjord

We would have been unable to show you the fjordside farms and tell the story of those who lived there without the great effort made by their descendants and a group of enthusiasts who call themselves the ‘Friends of the Storfjord’. Since the 1970s, they have been working continuously to preserve this cultural heritage. These farms bear witness to what humans can create at the very margins of society and of how people can push the limits of what is possible when necessary, with cunning, ingenuity, strong hands and a healthy dose of stubbornness.
