The Molla district of Hammerfest, Norway. The photographer is on the north slope of the Sadlen looking north-by-east showing the houses and commercial premises at the north end of the town. St. Michael's Church is in the foreground and the harbour is almost empty. The buildings are all of wooden construction. The northern mountains of Klavo are in the background. The town of Hammerfest was totally destroyed by German forces in early 1945 and none of the buildings in this photograph survived.
