Skagsanden

Skagsanden sits along the Lofoten byway at an elevation of 10 ft, with terrain dropping only 10 ft within 600 m of the site. Several peaks are visible from this position: Flakstadtinden rises to 1,503 ft to the south-southeast, 0.4 mi away; Blekktinden reaches 1,983 ft to the east-southeast at 1.8 mi; and Andopshesten stands at 2,002 ft to the east, 2.3 mi distant. Daylight at this location varies sharply through the year. At the March equinox, the sun rises at 06:09 and sets at 18:22. The June solstice brings midnight sun, with no sunset. By the September equinox, sunrise is at 06:48 and sunset at 19:13. The December solstice brings polar night, with no sunrise. Travelers reach this overlook from Kviltuva along the byway, with Utsikten (Volandstinden) as the next stop ahead. The low elevation and minimal terrain drop make this a flat, accessible point along the route, with clear sightlines toward the three named peaks to the south and east.
