EXPLORATION SUMMER (September 2009)

Shrinking Cities


Vardø is one of the shrinking cities in Norway. During the last years, about 20% of the inhabitants moved elsewhere. Of course, this has to do with fishing policies and affected all towns on the coastline that lived mainly on fishing. While driving through the city you can hardly oversee the many abandoned and run-down houses. In the background you see the observatory which main purpose is to cartograph space junk.
