Vardø – a little community at the coast of the Barents Sea

April 17, 2019

In March 2019 I had the opportunity to visit Vardø, which is a community at the extreme northeast of Norway.

I brought my Mamiya 6MF camera and a bunch of Ilford black & white films for the trip. I´m happy to share an album from my Vardø moments:

«The town of Vardø and the rural district around it was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 … The law required that all towns be separated from their rural districts, but because of a low population and very few voters, this was impossible to carry out for Vardø in 1838. … The rural district of Vardø (Vardø landdistrikt, which was renamed Båtsfjord in 1957) was officially separated from the town of Vardø in 1868. …

…

The Old Norse form of the name was Vargøy. The first element is vargr which means "wolf" and the last element is øy which means "island". The first element was later replaced (around 1500) with varða which means "cairn". Historically, the name was spelled Vardöe.…»
