Approaching Hammerfest.

This rock is said to be the largest in the north and it is at the entrance to the bay where Hammerfest is situated. Hammersfest is the northern most town in the world and is the centre for the energy industry. Norway uses only natural energy from wind and hydro electricity but they do produce oil and gas from offshore fields for export.
