At the southern tip of Moskenesøy and the Lofoten Islands, the bijou village of Å (appropriately, the last letter of the Norwegian alphabet),
sometimes referred to (and signposted across Lofoten) as Å i Lofoten, is something of a living museum – a preserved fishing village
with a shoreline of red rorbuer (fisher's huts), cod-drying racks and picture-postcard scenes at almost every turn.
Now living very much from tourism, in its time it was a significant fishing port:
more than 700,000 cod would be hung out to dry here every season until as recently as WWII.
