Me-Åkernes

[2] There is no natural harbour on the shore, just a small man-made landing place and some remaining stone walls that are remnants of an earlier boat shed.

The hay barn and cowshed are added onto opposite ends of the house, for a total length of 35 metres (115 ft).

[2] Me-Åkernes was originally a single farm, but in 1881 its fields were divided in halves between two related couples.

Each family would support livestock of four cattle and 40 sheep by supplementing fodder in the winter season by use of seaweed.

[1] Today, the farm is private property, but the preservation society "Storfjordens venner" (The Friends of The Great Fjord) have maintained the buildings.

Today the farm is, due to its location by the Åkernesrenna (the Åkernes crevice), at considerable risk.
