In the frigid waters of the Norwegian Sea, far above the Arctic Circle, sits a tiny fishing village where hardy locals have weathered harsh conditions for generations, and refuse to leave. Summer in Reine (population: 300) brings the midnight sun, while winter heralds the return of abundant spawning cod stocks. Even today, you’ll see hundreds of fish hanging outside in the wind on traditional wooden drying racks every March and April. All done by hand, the grading and drying processes that have been passed down here since the age of the Vikings have made Norway famous for its premium quality stockfish (dried cod). Visitors can stay in a rorbu, the old fishermen’s cabins, and cook their own catch of the day.
