Agskardet: Ågskardet ferjekai
Agskardet has served as a ferry landing in Nordland since the 20th century. On the southern side of Holandsfjorden in Rana municipality, it forms one end of the Fv17 crossing to Forøy, linking the coastal road with communities on the far shore. The fjord cuts between steep inhabited slopes, while farms and scattered homes occupy the lower ground. This section belongs to Kystriksveien, the long coastal route through Helgeland, where ferries remain part of everyday road travel. Holandsfjorden also lies beside the Svartisen area, whose icefields and mountains shape the wider landscape. Agskardet is a practical stop in a region where water, roads and settlement meet in close quarters.

Nordland’s terrain shifts from an island-studded Atlantic coast in the west to mountains and inland plateaus near Sweden in the east, creating a long county of fjords, waterways and widely spaced communities. Bodø, just north of the Arctic Circle, is its principal city and was a European Capital of Culture in 2024. Nearby Saltstraumen is famed for its powerful tidal current, while the Vestfjorden separates the mainland from the dramatic Lofoten archipelago. Farther south, Svartisen adds glacier country to a region also shaped by enduring Sámi cultural traditions.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
