Havmannen, Granite sculpture at Ranfjord, Norway.
The Havmannen sculpture rises 11 meters from the water, standing with its back to Mo i Rana while facing the vast Ranfjord.
Initially planned as a steel structure, the sculpture shifted to granite construction due to the closure of local steel works in 1995.
Local residents sent hundreds of letters and over 300 poems to Rana Blad newspaper expressing their views about the installation.
The sculpture remains accessible throughout the year at coordinates 66.310278 latitude and 14.1275 longitude in the Rana Municipality.
The granite figure, weighing 60 tonnes, stands perpetually knee-deep in the waters of Ranfjord, constructed from seven distinct blocks.
