Fedje is an island off the coast of West Norway. It's in an unsheltered position, far from the mainland or other islands, so it has a rough, coastal climate, with mild winters and cool summers. Fedje is also the name of the archipelago of over a hundred islands that surrounds the main island, and the name of the municipality that administers the islands.
