Kleivodden viewpoint, Andøya

Kleivodden is located on Andøya, an island off the coast of Northern Norway. The popular rest stop and viewpoint had been almost ruined by the rocket launches taking place at the nearby space centre. The site needed to be cleared, prepared for carparking and, importantly, turned into an attractive viewpoint for visitors. The viewing platform is a simple horizontal concrete surface. At the southern end of the platform, a twelve meter wide stairway leads to the sea and functions as an amphitheatre with a spectacular view.
