The small village of Engan lies perched on the hillside above the fjord of Kobbelvvågen, north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. After the dark and snowy winter, its terrain is a blanket of green in the spring and summer months, providing an ideal feeding ground for Rakel Nystabakk’s flock of sheep.
“It’s so cool that they can walk around by themselves for the whole summer grazing everything – herbs, mushrooms and land that we cannot make food from. They’re so well built for this landscape,” she says.
