Eva Ann Andersen opens hotel on historic Norwegian Arctic island
Eva Ann Andersen is running a hotel on the tiny Norwegian island of Støtt to offer visitors refuge from modern urban life.
Family history and local legend
The family has owned the trading post since 1897. Local stories describe an island rising from mist to save fishermen caught in winter storms.
Return after corporate career
Andersen moved to Oslo for work before returning to the island in 2011. She left her international job to recover and see new potential in the place she grew up in.
New purpose for old refuge
The hotel now provides shelter from stress and overwork instead of violent seas. Travelers can find a different kind of refuge on this archipelago just north of the Arctic Circle.
