Ekkerøy
Ekkerøy (also: ''Store Ekkerøy'' or ) is one of the oldest fishing villages on the Varangerfjorden in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in Vadsø Municipality about east of the town of Vadsø which is the administrative centre of the municipality and the county. The village of Valen lies just north of Ekkerøy.
Historically, the population was Norwegian or Kven, rather than Sami, and the economy was based on fishing and farming. There are about forty people living in the village today and tourism forms part of the economy.〔(Ekkeroy holidayhouse )〕
==Geography==
As the ending "øy" in the name indicates, the place was originally an island; however, it is now joined to the Varanger peninsula by a narrow isthmus of land. At the mainland end of the isthmus the small hamlet of Valen is located.〔(Ekkerøy, a pearl in the Arctic )〕〔(Video taken by passenger on a flight ) in a Widerøe Dash-8 from Vadsø to Vardø〕〔(Kulturminnesøk ) - adjust the map returned when the search term Ekkerøy is used in this online Norwegian database.〕
The headland on the northern tip of Ekkerøy is called ''Varnes'' and its eastern tip is called ''Skagodden''. The bay on the northeastern side of the neck which joins Ekkerøy to the mainland is called ''Yttersida'' and that on the southwestern side is called ''Innersida''.〔
