Photo @chrisburkard // Very few would choose to travel to this small coastal village in the Lofoten Islands of Norway during the winter months. When summer arrives climbers flock to the small community exploring the cliffs and trails scattered throughout the expansive mountain ranges. It absolutely blows my mind that despite their extreme exposure to the harsh elements it’s still just another day in the life for the people who call this place home.
