The Last of the Viking Whalers are pictures from the 'Lofotfisk' spawning cod fishing season and common minke whale hunting in Vestfjorden, taken by the photographer and journalist Marcus Bleasdale for the National Geographic.
Marcus Bleasdale donated pictures from the National Geographic article to Røst Municipality. They are hung at locations around the island.
Walk or cycle around the island and search for and experience exciting artworks!
