The odlly shaped mountains of Nordland are the stuff of legends. They are said to be trolls turned into stone when surprised by the rising sun. Hestmannen (the horseman) was the wild and unruly son of Vågakallen (the Old Man of Våga). He was caught by the sunrise when chasing after the beautiful Lekamøya and the Seven Sisters.

The globe on Vikingen island marks the polar circle. As with the North Cape which isn't really the northernmost point (that's Knivskjellodden nearby), Vikingen is not directly on the polar circle but was the most convenient place to place the globe.

hFF folks! Grenjaðarstaður has been settled since the 11th century, usually by the priests of the adjoining church and their families. The turf farm in its present state dates from 1865 and was inhabited (by up to 30 people!) until 1949 when it passed into the possession of the National Museum of Iceland. The church bells are from 1663/ 1740 and the graveyard has a 15th century rune stone. www.iceland.de/virtuelle-islandreise/nordostisland/der-hof-grenjadarstadur

Weißenhofsiedlung was built in record time in 1927 as part of the Werkbund exhibtion about new forms of building. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was responsible for the project for which 16 renowned architects (among them Le Corbusier with Pierre Jeanneret, Mart Stam, Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, Max and Bruno Taut, J.J.P.Oud, Hans Scharoun and Mies v.d.Rohe himself) designed houses. Of the original 21 houses 11 are left, most of the others were destroyed in WWII bombing raids, among them the ones by Gropius and Taut. But the war thankfully also stopped Nazi plans to demolish all houses of what they called "Araberdorf" (Arab village). In 1958 Weißenhofsiedlung got protected status, in 2016 the Le Corbusier buildings were awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei%C3%9Fenhofsiedlung vielfaltdermoderne.de/en/stuttgart-scharoun-house-weissenhof
