Nordøyan

Nærøysund Municipality, Norway

Nordøyan is an archipelago and abandoned fishing village in Nærøysund Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The island group is located at the western end of the Folda fjord, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the southwest of the island of Ytter-Vikna and about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) to the northwest of the Sør-Gjæslingan islands. Nordøyan has been the site of a fishing village dating back to the 16th century, but since 1919, has not had any permanent residents. The homes on Nordøyan are now mostly used as holiday cottages.
