Skutvika

Skutvika or Skutvik[2] is a small village in Hamarøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

To the west and south of Skutvik is the Økssundet, a sound connecting the Sagfjorden and Vestfjorden.

The landscape in the immediate vicinity of the village is dominated by hills, while further north a row of mountains rises up to 950 metres (3,120 ft) above sea level.

[4] Skutvik has a grocery shop, cafeteria with accommodation, electronics business, school and kindergarten among other things.

The two-hour ferry ride from Skutvik goes through a varied landscape, first between the mountains of Steigen and the Hamarøya peninsula, and then the crossing of the open ocean of the Vestfjorden, that on a clear day provides the view over the entire Lofoten mountain range.
