Qué cubre este vídeo

Grip, a small island 8 nautical miles northwest of Kristiansund, has supported a fishing community since the Viking Age despite having no freshwater, no soil for crops, and no trees for firewood.0:24 Residents survived on dried fish and klippfisk (salt-dried cod) and collected rainwater.0:49 The island holds one of Norway's few surviving stave churches, built at Gripholmen's highest point, where the population sheltered during the worst storms.0:02 Grip appeared on Norway's oldest maps, confirming its importance through the Middle Ages, and remained the country's smallest municipality until 1964.1:14 The last permanent resident left in 1974; the 47 houses are now holiday cottages and the old school is a café.1:18 Electricity arrived in the 1950s via a diesel generator that still runs, but only during daytime hours.1:39 Visiting by private boat, arrivals can tie up at a small floating dock or the quay, but berths are limited.1:40 The surrounding waters are rough, and a visit requires good conditions and careful timing.1:40
