352 NO - Rock Art of Alta (1985)

Brief Description

"This group of petroglyphs in the Alta Fjord, near the Arctic Circle, bears the traces of a settlement dating from c. 4200 to 500 B.C. The thousands of paintings and engravings add to our understanding of the environment and human activities on the fringes of the Far North in prehistoric times."

阿尔塔岩画

"临近北极圈阿尔塔海湾的这组岩画是公元前4200年至公元前500年人类居住遗迹的见证。数千幅岩石画和雕刻增加了我们对史前时代北极地区的环境和人类生活的认识。"
