Røst is a small island municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Lofoten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Røstlandet on the island of Røstlandet.

The island municipality is very small and is essentially a large fishing village centered around Røstlandet. Many of the residents are involved in the fishing industry or support the industry. There are six fish farms in Røst. During the main fishing season, there can be up to 600 fishing boats based out of Røst.

The 10-square-kilometre (3+3⁄4 sq mi) municipality is the 354th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Røst is the 353rd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 460. The municipality's population density is 45.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (118/sq mi), and its population has decreased by 18.7% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

The municipality of Røst was established on 1 July 1928 when it was separated from Værøy Municipality. Initially, it had 731 residents. The municipal boundaries have not changed since that time.[7]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the main island of Røstlandet (Old Norse: Rǫst) since the first Rost Church was built there. The name is identical to the Old Norse word rǫst which means "maelstrom", likely referring to the nearby Moskenstraumen.[8]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 28 November 1986. The official blazon is "Argent, three cormorants issuant from the base sable" (Norwegian: I sølv tre oppvoksende svarte skarver). This means the arms have a field (background) that has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The charge is three black European shags (Gulosus aristotelis), which is a species of cormorant. The design was chosen to symbolize a local legend of three brothers who could transform themselves into cormorants. This story was recounted by Asbjørnsen and Moe, the famous collectors of Norwegian folklore. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[9][10][11]

History

[edit]

A vivid description of medieval island life has been delivered by the shipwrecked Venetian sea captain Pietro Querini, who was rescued by the islanders in 1432. He described the society as very harmonious and pious, and described how they made a living from fishing cod and some agriculture. The Norwegian Lundehund originated from this part of Norway, where it natively would have climbed along cliff paths to hunt puffins. Fishing is the main economic activity on Røst.

Culture

[edit]

The island has a rich cultural life. Every year in June there is a popular festival in honor of the puffin (Lundefestivalen).

Querini opera

[edit]

In 2012, the Querini Opera was shown on Røst for the first time, telling the dramatic story about Pietro Querini who shipwrecked on Røst in 1432. The show was a great success and was shown again in 2014.

Literary Park Pietro Querini

[edit]

In 2017, the Pietro Querini Literary Park (litteraturpark på Røst) was established with the Municipality of Røst, the Dante Committee, I Parchi Letterari Network and the support of the Embassy of Italy. The park started its activity in 2018. https://www.parchiletterari.com/parchi/pietro-querini-063/vita.php

Government

[edit]

Røst Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Salten og Lofoten District Court and the Hålogaland Court of Appeal.

Transportation

[edit]
The ferry in Røst harbor

As an isolated island municipality, there are no road connections to Røst. It can be reached by boat and airplane. There are ferry connections to the neighboring island of Værøya and also to the nearby town of Bodø on the mainland. Røst Airport has regularly scheduled flights to Bodø.

Economy

[edit]

During the winter, the population of Røst gets doubled due to the number of boats arriving at Røst to fish. Yearly, the small island of Røst produces fish and fish-related products worth more than US$40 million.

Environment

[edit]
Atlantic puffins; Røst has the largest seabird colonies in Norway.

Geography

[edit]

There are 365 islands and skerries in the municipality situated about 100 kilometres (60 mi) off the mainland, at the southwestern tip of the Lofoten island chain in the Vestfjorden. Skomvær Lighthouse is located in the southern part of the municipality on the small island of Skomvær. Most inhabitants live on the main island of Røstlandet, but a few other islands are also inhabited. These islands are linked to Røstlandet with roads, causeways, and bridges. Røstlandet is the largest island in the municipality and its highest point rises no more than 11 m (36 ft) above sea level. South of Røstlandet, there are several small islands that are dominated by large mountains including Vedøya, Storfjellet, Trenyken, Hærnyken, and Ellevsnyken. The highest point in the municipality is the 259-metre (850 ft) tall mountain Storfjellet.[1]

Birdlife

[edit]

Røst is one of the few bird watching localities in Norway that is known worldwide. The seabird colonies that are to be found are regarded as internationally important. The islands offer a range of habitats, and as one would expect, a stop-over point for many species that are migrating even further north. During the last few years, birders have been showing an interest for Røst during the autumn, producing a whole range of rarities.

The municipality also has one of the largest bird cliffs in the North Atlantic, with puffin colonies, as well as colonies of shag, kittiwake, and cormorants. A 16,000 ha area encompassing the Røst archipelago and its adjacent marine waters has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports large breeding colonies of European shags and Atlantic puffins. Other birds breeding in the IBA include European storm petrels, Leach's storm petrels, razorbills, common murres, northern fulmars and black-legged kittiwakes. The IBA contains the Røstlandet and Nykan nature reserves as well as the 7000 ha Røstøyan Ramsar site.[32]

Climate

[edit]

Despite being north of the Arctic Circle, Røst features a cold-summer mediterranean climate (Köppen Csc), also bordering a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen Cfc). Røst and Værøy were earlier known by meteorologists as the most northern locations in the world with average temperatures above freezing all winter, but with the updated 1991-2020 normals there are more northern locations in Norway with average temperatures above freezing all winter.[33] The winter temperatures in southern Lofoten represent the largest temperature anomaly in the world relative to latitude.[citation needed] The mean annual temperature is 6.0 °C (42.8 °F) (1991–2020), and the average annual precipitation is 873.9 mm (34.41 in). The wettest months are October through December with approximately 90–120 millimetres (3.5–4.7 in) precipitation each month, and the driest period is during May and June with on average of 40 millimetres (1.6 in) each month.[34] Precipitation varies considerably: in June 2009, only 1 millimetre (0.039 in) of precipitation fell and July 2009 had only 7 millimetres (0.28 in) of rain, while in December 2008, there was 127 millimetres (5.0 in) of precipitation registered.[35] The average date for the last overnight freeze (low below 0 °C (32.0 °F)) in spring is April 22[36] and average date for first freeze in autumn is November 5 [37] giving a frost-free season of 196 days (1981-2010 average).
