Gamvik & Slettnes Light House - The Beauty Of Finnmark Norway
This is the third video of the seriesThe Beauty Of Finnmark Norway Some minor fault with my GoPro creates some flicker in the video when the sun hits the propellers. Hope to fix it with a better version.
Historic fishing village:
Gamvik is situated in the far northeast of the Nordkyn Peninsula, Europe's most northerly mainland. Since the Middle Ages, Gamvik has been one of the most important fishing villages out towards the Arctic Ocean. However, since the Second World War, the village has lost ground to Mehamn and Kjøllefjord due to its relatively narrow harbour. Today, peace and quiet has returned to this fishing village of 180 inhabitants.
Coastal heritage in the far north:
From the Late Middle Ages, more and more Norwegians moved to the Finnmark coast. They fished for cod in the spring, dried it and transported it to Bergen. In Europe, there was a high level of demand for high-protein dry fish, particularly during Lent. As the fishermen had small boats that they could haul up onto dry land, the population was spread across many small communities in the outlying areas of the coast. Gamvik Museum has displays of fishing equipment, as well as the simple cattle farming, home crafts and maritime Sami culture on the outer coast and further inland to the fjords. At the now abandoned village of Omgang, several witches were burned during the 1600s.
Whale hunting:
As early as the 1500s, the Dutch hunted whales off the coast of Finnmark. However, whale hunting did not really take off as a major industry until the late 1800s when Svend Foyn introduced a more industrialised form of whale hunting. Towards the end of the 1890s, however, most whale stocks were so decimated that the catches fell sharply.
The Mehamn Rebellion:
After 1900, the important spring cod fishing season failed in Finnmark for several years in a row. The fishermen believed there was a link between whale hunting and the lack of fish. When there were no whales around, the capelin and cod were not chased towards the shore. On Whit Sunday 1903, the situation came to a head in Mehamn, and the whale hunting station there was razed to the ground and soldiers were summoned from Vardø to clear up. The rebellion had political consequences too: The whale became a protected species in Northern Norway and the first parliamentary representatives from the Norwegian Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet) were voted in the following autumn.
Outdoors:
The pier is part of a wider setting. Outside the museum is a large pollack drying rack. This rack also dates from after the war, but the production of dried fish is an ancient process along the coast of Finnmark. A Nordland motor boat is also on display outside. This boat was saved from the destruction that took place in 1944. Gamvik was formerly a port of call for the Hurtigruten, but it did not have a pier. The service boat Gamvik therefore sailed out to the open sea to meet the Hurtigruten and loaded and unloaded passengers and cargo there. In 1990, the Hurtigruten stopped calling here and the service boat is now on dry land.

Slettnes fyr i Gamvik - på 71°N
Kystkultur, i fylket hvor drømmer blir virkelighet. Gamvik byr på rå naturopplevelser, historie og mennesker med en folkelig mentalitet som flere bør lære av. 10. juli 2019 ga museum, fyr og gjestfrihet nok en minnerik opplevelse - selv for en finnmarking :-)
Slettnes fyr ble bygget i 1905, men skadet under krigen i 1944. Det ble reparert allerede i 1945 ???????? Og dagens status er et imponerende vedlikeholdt fyr som er vel verdt et besøk.
Gamvik har positiv utvikling med drift på fiskebruk og hus som renoveres. Årets kjedebutikk har en nydelig atmosfære og kafé med gratis kaffe til fantastisk sjøutsikt. Takk for opplevelsen!

Mehamn
Mehamn was populated relatively late, but due to the good harbour conditions, the village grew fast in the 19th century. About 1910, it was one of the most important fishing villages in eastern Finnmark. Tody, Mehamn remains a busy fiskevær where traditions live on. The stockfish is mostly exported, whereas the locals stick to their beloved boknafisk.

Mehamnopprøret 1903.wmv
Fisket har vært elendig i år igjen, og fiskerne skylder på hvalfangsten. At bestyreren på hvalfabrikken er alt annet enn lydhør, gjør ikke saken bedre. I løpet av et par hektiske døgn skjer det ting som skal få stor betydning for den politiske utviklingen i landet.

Lindesnes Lighthouse - Review of Lindesnes Fyr, Spangereid ...Norway - ships sinkings, legends
Lindesnes Lighthouse - Review of Lindesnes Fyr, Spangereid ...Norway - ships sinkings, legends and ghosts Lindesnes Lighthouse is a modern museum, open all year. The spectacular location where the sea meets the Norwegian mainland is a popular photo stop, but you will also find accommodation and food here. Lindesnes Lighthouse is surrounded by beautiful landscape, right by the sea, often with storm and big waves. Scenic hiking paths connect to the lighthouse.The lighthouse has 350 years of history, and for visitors it opens a window onto the long maritime history of Norway, and you can learn more through the films and exhibitions shown.Norway's first lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1656. Sailing ships travelled along the Norwegian coastline because of the safe natural harbours here.At Neset, the powerful currents at the tip of the Norwegian mainland, often coupled with stormy weather, caused many dramatic shipwrecks and groundings in the area. This is part of the story told at Lindesnes, as well as being the inspiration for the menu and product offered in the shop and the café onsite.Spend a night at the lighthouse, be there as the sun sets, let the waves lull you to sleep, and wake up to the sound of the seagulls. Just like the lighthouse keeper's family once did. The lighthouse apartment is available for hire year round. It can sleep six people, and has a fantastic view of the sea and the horizon.The information centre and museum shop welcome you as you arrive at Lindesnes Lighthouse. Here you can buy tickets to the top of the lighthouse.The ticket includes access to a number of experiences, outdoors and indoors exhibitions, film showings, gallery of local artists, cafe and beverage/museum shops.A visit at Lindesnes is a meeting with the ocean, and this is the inspiration behind all the stories told here. Their speciality is products of the sea. Seawater is even used in various products sold at the lighthouse, from soaps to schnapps. It is also a key ingredient in the well-known fyrbrød or lighthouse bread – made of seawater and seaweed.

Finnkongkeila
Finnkongkeila is named after the sacrificial boulder located a few hundred meters from the sea. The sea Sami traditionally used the place during their seasonal fisheries. In the middle of the 19th century Norwegians settled here, and 50 years later, Finnkongkeila had become a major fiskevær in eastern Finnmark, thanks to the proximity of good fishing grounds. The village was burnt to the ground by German forces on Nov. 4th, 1944. After the war, it was decided not to reconstruct the village, due to the danger of rockfalls from the steep mountains.
