Måsøy is an Arctic archipelago municipality in Troms og Finnmark, where fishing villages dot islands and the Barents Sea stretches to the horizon. Famous for Havøysund, its main settlement, and the scenic Havøysund Bridge, Måsøy is a gateway to bird cliffs, Arctic fishing, and the rugged beauty of northern Norway. It’s a place where cod and king crab sustain communities, and the midnight sun lights up the ocean.
