Sommarøy

Sommarøy is a small populated island located about 36 kilometers (22mi) west of Tromsø, Norway. The island is part of an archipelogo of smaller islands, well known for their white sand beaches and scenery. The Sommarøy village is a typical fishing village with a local fishing fleets and substantial fish processing. “Sommarøy” translates to “Summer island”, likely named so by reindeer herders taking their herds down from the mountains and out on the archipelago to graze during summer. There are fewer reindeer today, but visitors are more or less guaranteed to see some.
