The municipality Moskenes in the county of Nordland, Norway, has 1,282 inhabitants as of January 1, 2002. Moskenes is a part of Lofoten. This municipality is among the most scenic in all Norway, and the picturesque fishing villages of Reine, Å and Tind have a dramatic backdrop of jagged peaks rising above the Vestfjord. Between Lofotodden, the southwestern tip of the Lofoten chain, and the offshore, isolated island of Mosken, there is the tidal current of Moskenesstraumen. This is better known internationally as the Malstrom, feared by all sailors. On the isolated north western coast of the island, there are also interesting stone age cave paintings.
