This is a single rock carving of a moose or a raindeer, in the middle of the town of Narvik, inside a small forest area. It was discovered in the 1960's, and is dated to about 3000-4000 BCE.
There is a short footpath that leads to the carving. it is painted with red paint to make it more visible and is very easy to see.
