Moskenes

Tucked along the exposed shore of Vestfjorden on southern Moskenesøya, Moskenes is a place whose character is shaped by the North Atlantic and Lofoten’s steep mountains. Vestfjorden reaches toward mainland Norway, while the waters near the outer islands are associated with Moskstraumen, a powerful tidal current that has entered European maritime literature. Fishing, especially the seasonal cod catch, has long defined this part of Lofoten, and Moskenes remains an important ferry port for the route to Bodø.
