Interesting facts about this location
Værøy Church
Værøy Church is a parish church in the municipality of Værøy in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sørland. The church is part of the Værøy parish in the Bodø deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, stone church was built in 1939. Before that time, the Old Værøy Church was the only church on the island, and it was about 5 kilometres away, on the other side of the island. Since the majority of the population lived in Sørland, the new church was built there.

Widerøe Flight 839
Widerøe Flight 839, also known as the Værøy Accident, was a crash into water of a de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter just after take-off from Værøy Airport in Norway. The incident occurred on 12 April 1990 at 14:44, and killed all five people on board. The cause of the accident were strong winds that exceeded the structure's tolerance, causing the tail rudder and tailplane to crack so the plane became uncontrollable. Impact occurred 63 seconds after take-off and 8 seconds after the crack.

Mosken
Mosken is a small uninhabited rocky island in the municipality of Værøy in Nordland county, Norway. The 1.5-square-kilometre island is located in the Lofoten archipelago about halfway between the islands of Værøy to the south and Moskenesøy to the north. The Moskenstraumen maelstrom—one of the most powerful in the world—is located on the north side of Mosken. Historically, the island was used for grazing sheep in both the summer and the winter.

Maelstrom
A maelstrom is a very powerful whirlpool; a large, swirling body of water. A free vortex, it has considerable downdraft. The power of tidal whirlpools tends to be exaggerated by laymen. There are virtually no stories of large ships ever being sucked into a maelstrom, although smaller craft are in danger and tsunami-generated maelstroms may even threaten larger craft. Tales like those by Paul the Deacon, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe are entirely fictional.
