10 April 2025

This week, we have had the pleasure of having about a hundred students from the secondary schools in the municipality visit the Hurtigruten Museum. We have talked about the war time sailors during World War II, and how the seafarers who worked on board the Hurtigruten during World War II risked their lives to keep the wheels turning in coastal Norway.



Thank you very much to both students and teachers who have made the week memorable for us! We hope it has been a few educational days, and that we will see you again soon!
