A football pitch nestled in breathtaking wilderness has been captured on a remote Norwegian island.
A secluded pitch has been captured deep in the Scandinavian wilderness in breathtaking photos.
Drone footage reveals the hidden footballing gem, in northern Europe, stashed away in a fishing village in Norway.
Ivan Pedretti was visiting Henningsvær, a settlement on the edge of the Lofoten archipelago in the country.
Some may head to the village for snaps of nature, or the breathtaking scenery and idyllic houses tucked away besides sea and mountains alike; he instead got pictures of one of the world’s most unique football pitches.
But the 50-year-old snapper headed out specifically to catch what he considers one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world.
The photographer, from Sardinia, Italy, added: "The pitch is a classic football field size, it's incredible to have such a pitch on such a small island.
"Because it's a famous place in Lofoten, it's almost compulsory to visit and having seen it for the first time in 2020 I wanted to see it again to take a photo from the top.
"Henningsvær Stadium is made entirely of artificial turf as the cold winter season would not allow the grass to have a natural continuity between seasons."
The stadium, not far from the arctic circle is infamous for its beautiful scenery and unique surroundings.
The small town is home to around 25,000 people immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the archipelago.
It is surrounded by sea and only connected to the main island via a bridge built in 1983.
The pitch was built by levelling the solid bedrock of the southernmost part of the Hellandsøya island.
They then laid down asphalt before the artificial pitch, with a tiny perimeter for fans and cars to park.
