An island further south in the Lofoten region, Moskenes, was our next and final stop around the Lofoten Islands. We camped, fished and enjoyed a noteworthy 10-hour hike during our days here.
Hiking along, joined by my fishing pole tucked in my bag
Travis enjoying the random, beautiful sandy beaches we found along the way
A panoramic view from the top of the mountain we hiked up and down...then back up and down on the way home. The island of Moskenes is relatively narrow at the point we were hiking, and we came from the east side (right side of the picture) and headed over the to west side. Interesting to note how the island is rather symmetical in this area, with a lake and the ocean on either side of the peak in the middle.

The lake on the west side, with a small river flowing from it leading into the ocean
An unexpected encounter: when we got to the west side of the island along the hike, we bumped into two fellow students from the University of Oslo, pictured here with us.
More dried stockfish on wooden racks
The heads and entrails are removed before hanging
And here are the heads
