Day:234, Words:234

One of the natural highlights of Øksfjord is the giant glacier that sits upon the mountain across the fjord. Although the signage can be misleading, tourists flock to admire the view from a range of different viewpoints. The school has made plans to visit this natural wonder. It is a tough trek up the mountain and requires wits, courage and a good level of fitness.

Three enormous Danish produced fish oil tanks have been lifted into place at Øksfjord's fish food factory. Polar Feed has invested more than 10 million kroner in the new tanks which will double the production.

A French tourist will serve 18 days in prison following a drive over the mountain at 160 km pr hour. His excuse for driving 70 km over the speed limit? He was simply testing how fast his new car could travel.

A popular venue during the Øksfjord festival was Nasser's Kebab van. Although the van disappeared as quickly as it arrived, it appears that Nasser is a known figure around Finnmark. Nasser, himself is from Alta, yet had been serving the late night revellers in Vadsø on weekends with his tasty kebabs. Although popular amongst the hungry crowd, the nearby restaurants took offense to the competition in the food industry and reported their complaints to the council. Nasser was asked to find his profitable kebabs another home. He hasn't been seen in Vadsø since.
