<br />
Vestvågøya (or less-commonly: Vest-Vågøy) is an island in the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. The island is located within Vestvågøy Municipality. The island lies between the islands of Austvågøya and Gimsøya to the northeast and Flakstadøya to the southwest. There are also several small islands and skerries surrounding the island. Vestvågøya makes up over 97% of the municipal area and about 99% of the inhabitants of the municipality live on the island. The European route E10 highway crosses the island connecting to Flakstadøya by the Nappstraum Tunnel and to Gimsøya by the Sundklakkstraumen Bridge.<br />
<br />
The middle part of the island is relatively flat and marshy, while the outer parts in the north and south are mountainous. The highest point on the island is the 964-metre (3,163 ft) tall mountain Himmeltindan. The flat parts of the island are largely agricultural land. There is one town on the island (Leknes) and several large villages on the island including Stamsund, Ballstad, and Gravdal.<br />
<br />
In Vestvågøya mountains have steep slopes towards the open sea in the northwest and southeast while slopes pointing towards the interior of the island are more gentle. This is the result of erosion acting on a landscape that has been uplifted along southwest-northwest-trending faults in the margins of Lofoten while the interior axis has remained more stable.<br />

<br />
Vestvågøya (seltener Vest-Vågøy) ist eine Insel der norwegischen Inselgruppe Lofoten. Die Insel gehört zur Kommune Vestvågøy im Fylke Nordland. Mit einer Fläche von 413,28 km² ist sie die zwölftgrößte Insel des norwegischen Hauptlandes.<br />
<br />
Geografie<br />
<br />
Die Insel ist Teil der vor der norwegischen Westküste gelegenen Inselgruppe Lofoten und liegt nordöstlich der Insel Flakstadøya und südwestlich der Gimsøya. Von der Flakstadøya ist die Vestvågøya durch die Meerenge Nappstraumen getrennt, von der Gimsøya über den Sundklakkstraumen. Die Vestvågøya liegt vollständig in der Kommune Vestvågøy und macht etwa 97 % des Gemeindeareals aus. Zudem leben über 99 % der insgesamt 11.619 Einwohner (Stand: 1. Januar 2024) der Kommune auf der Insel.<br />
<br />
Die Insel ist teils von Mooren bedeckt. Die Küste ist von einer Vielzahl an Fjorden und Buchten geprägt. Auf der Insel befinden sich mehrere Erhebungen mit über 700 moh. Teils ist die Küste steiler abfallend, bei der Stadt Leknes an der Südküste liegt ein breiterer Küstenstreifen vor. Die Erhebung Himmeltindan an der Westküste stellt mit einer Höhe von 962 moh. den höchsten Punkt der Kommune Vestvågøy und damit auch der Insel dar. Die Berge schirmen die Insel teilweise vor Wind und Regenfronten ab. Das Klima entspricht einem maritimen Klima, das zu milden Wintern führt.<br />
<br />
Verkehr<br />
<br />
Über die Insel führt die Europastraße 10 (E10), die die Anbindung ans Festland herstellt. Im Nordosten führt sie über eine Brücke auf die Gimsøya, im Südwesten durch einen Tunnel auf die Flakstadøya.<br />

<p>This dead mammal was left to be eaten by maggots etc and during the time I was there it was soon reduced to just a few bare bones. I think it was a yellow-throated marten but I'm not sure.</p>
