    70.7° north latitude: Hammerfest lies high in the north – and is teeming with life.

    Numerous Stone Age burial sites can be found here. Long before the town was granted market charter in 1789, Hammerfest was a bastion of fishing and hunting in the Arctic. Hammerfest was named after an old pier. The first part of the name, "hammer," refers to a collection of large rocks ideal for mooring boats. It derives from the Old Norse word "hamarr," meaning "steep mountain slope." The second part, "fest," derives from the Old Norse word "festr," meaning "to moor" (of boats).
