The rock carvings
There are at least 15 figures on a 20 square metres (220 sq ft) field that is located about 20 metres (66 ft) above the sea level. At least eight of the figures are of reindeer. There are also figures of porpoise, a boat, and possibly a moose. Most of the figures are small, but the largest figure is about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in).
The carvers
The carvings are from a hunting culture (veidekultur).
How to get there
The field is on a rock (svaberg) by a water fall on the river starting from Nordfjordvatnet, above the Åsli farm that is in Nordfjorden about 1 km from Storsteinnes in Balsfjord. Due to the poor condition of the figures they can be difficult to spot.
