Gravermarka

Gravermarka[2] is a small village in Vågan Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

It is located on the western side of the island of Austvågøya in the Lofoten archipelago.

The village has been a documented settlement since the 1600s, but it probably goes back to the Viking Age.

There has been plans to restore the local fishery that has been out of business for 20 years for some sort of industry.

The majority of the population work in the nearby town of Svolvær.
