Øvre Valla

Among Nordland’s settlements, Øvre Valla stands out for its position on the island of Meløya, just north of the Arctic Circle. It belongs to Meløy municipality on Norway’s outer coast, where the Norwegian Sea and a chain of low-lying islands shape local connections. This is a small coastal locality rather than an urban centre, part of a region whose communities have long depended on fishing and travel by sea. The mainland beyond Meløya leads towards the mountain and glacier country of Svartisen, while the island remains firmly oriented towards the open coast.
