Allà al fons està el Tirpitz / Down there lays the Tirpitz
Vista espectacular de la ciutat àrtica de Tromso des de dalt del mirador de Fjellheisen, al que s'hi arriba amb teleferic. Caminant una mica cap al sud s'arriba al millor mirador, el Storsteinen, a 420 m. d'alçada.

==================
A wonderful panoramic view of the artic city of Tromso in winter, seen from the Storsteinen viewpoint (420 m. above sea level), which can be reached with the Fjellheisen cable car.
Beyond the lights of Tromso you can see a small bay, with a dark island on the right (Hakkoya). There was moored the already wounded German battleship Tirpitz, the little sister of the famous Bismarck. On 12 November 1944, 32 RAF Lancaster bombers attacked er without oposition, 29 Tallboy heavy bombs were used. Each of these weighed 5 tons and hit the target at the speed of 1200 km / h. Three direct hits holed the Tirpitz, and six or seven of the near ones capzised and sank it. Almost 1000 Germans died there, it was a massacre.
Most of the Tirpitz was scrapped after the war, but about a quarter of the structure remains under water.
