From Norway Then and Now: Tilbakeblikk, one of 18 photos. An animation showing Hammerfest, Finnmark in 1889, then again in 2004. Hammerfest was a fishing community and a market town with the best ice-free harbor in these northerly waters. During the German retreat in February 1945, the entire town was burned down. The town is still characterized by houses rebuilt in the 1950s. (CC BY-NC-ND Axel Lindahl / Oskar Puschmann / Tilbakeblikk)
