Skrova, Archipelago in Vågan, Norway
The Skrova archipelago consists of six main islands connected by bridges and causeways, with Storskrova and Heimskrova being the largest landmasses.
Established as a trading post in 1760, Skrova developed into the largest fishing settlement in Lofoten, with fishing and whaling industries shaping its development.
The population of 182 residents maintains traditional maritime activities through fishing, fish farming, and operating one of Norway's principal whaling stations.
Regular ferry services link the archipelago to Svolvær town and Skutvika village, providing essential transportation for residents and visitors throughout the year.
Located 180 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, Skrova experiences a temperate oceanic climate, with temperature records reaching 30.4°C in June 1972.
